Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let's calculate the price of one dozen oranges:
1. Price of one orange: 5 cents.
2. Number of oranges in a dozen: 12.
3. Total price in cents: \( 5 \text{ cents} \times 12 = 60 \text{ cents} \).
4. Convert cents to dollars:
\[
\frac{60 \text{ cents}}{100 \text{ cents per dollar}} = 0.6 \text{ dollars} = \frac{3}{5} \text{ dollars}.
\]
Thus, the correct answer is C. \(\frac{3}{5}\) dollars.
