If as many dozen were sold in April as in May, and twice as many were sold in June as in April, what was the average price per dozen of the eggs sold over the three-month period?

Given:
Aa,Am,Aj=(1.26,1.20,1.080 )
Sa=Sm
Sj=2Sa

Total Sales=Sa+Sm+Sj
=Sa+Sa+2Sa
=4Sa

3-Month Avg=Sales Price*Sale/Total Sales
=(Sa*Aa + Sm * Am + Sj * Aj) / ( Sa + Sm + Sj)
= (Sa * Aa + Sa * Am + 2Sa * Aj ) / 4Sa
=Sa (Aa+Am+2Aj)/4 (Sa)
= (Aa+Am+2Aj)/4
=(1.26+1.20+2*1.080)/4
=1.155
~=1.16 = D.
