i) add all
i dozen = 12 units
2 + 3 + 9 = 14 dozen = 14 * 12 = 168 units
ii) to calculate average summ all and divide by total number of quantities
15.50 + 18.98 + 16.98 + 14 + 18.50 +22 = 105.96
average = 105.96/6 = 17.66
iii) Its not clear. Please explain in comments
iv) 2/3 * 27 = 18
18 had previous work experience
v) total purchase amount = 2*31.5 + 1 * 10.98 + 5*3 /2 + 3*8.99 + 1*12.95 =121.4
Amount for 1 pair of socks = 3/2
Amount for 5 pair of socks = 5 * 3/2
