CCAT Practice Test Prep – Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Exam Study Guide & Questions

To determine how many dozen eggs can be purchased with $12 when each dozen costs $2, you need to divide the total amount of money available ($12) by the cost of one dozen eggs ($2).

Calculating this gives:

$12 ÷ $2 per dozen = 6 dozen.

Since the correct answer matches this calculation, you can confirm that with $12, you can indeed buy 6 dozen eggs.

The provided answer of 8 is incorrect because it suggests that you could purchase more than what the available budget allows based on the given price per dozen. The other choices of 4 and 10 would also fall outside the accurate calculation, either underestimating or incorrectly assessing the number of dozens you can buy.
