    A bakery offers a sale price of $3.50 for 4 muffins. What is the price per dozen?

    1 dozen = 12 muffins

    What this problem is really asking, $3.50 for 4 muffins. Let p be the price for 12 muffins (1 dozen). Set up a proportion of cost to muffins.
    3.50/4 = p/12

    Using our math engine, we type this proportion into our search box and get:
    p = 10.5 muffins
