Supply and Demand look it up.
I am reading my grandmother's diary from 1930. They had chickens and she sold her first dozen eggs for 30 cents, on December 4, 1930.
The average price of a house in 1930 was $7145.00
The lowest price listed for any car (automobile) was $425.00 the highest was $2,995.00 (a very high end sports car); the average price was $640.00.
Around 25 cents a dozen. Price varied by region.
In 1989 the cost of a dozen eggs was about 96 cents. The price of that item has approximately doubled in the intervening years.
A dozen eegs cost .45 in 1957. This sounds like a bargan until you factor in inflation.
To find the total price of one dozen apples that cost 25 cents each, you would multiply the cost of one apple by the total number of apples in a dozen. In this case, 25 cents multiplied by 12 apples equals $3. Therefore, the total price of one dozen apples that cost 25 cents each is $3.
Today, a dozen eggs can cost nearly three dollars. Back in 1995, a dozen eggs only cost a little above 1 dollar.
To find the cost of 4 dozen at $0.23 per dozen, you multiply the number of dozens by the price per dozen: 4 x $0.23 = $0.92. Therefore, 4 dozen at $0.23 per dozen costs $0.92.
Flour - ? Sugar - $1.25 per 25lb sack Juice - ? Whole Ham - 27 cents Dozen eggs - 18 cents
In 1930, the average price of a new home in the US was $7,145.
