If candy canes cost .89 a dozen, how much would it cost to buy candy canes for a school with 9001 students?

.89 per 12 candies
that means each candy cost   .89/12
if there are 9001 students, (assuming that the school is buying 1 candy per student,) then 
$$0.89 \div 12 \times 9001≈667.57$$

solomonzelman · Answer

Hope this explanation made sense.
knowing that dozen is 12, and assuming that school is buying 1 candy per student.

If a school is buying >1 candy per student than multiply that number by 667.57
