3 / 24

Answer 1

C. The bagels at Store B are $0.04 more expensive than the bagels at Store A.

Explanation:

Find the unit rates of both stores by dividing the price by the number of bagels:

Store A:

2.05/5

= 0.41

Store B:

1.35/3

= 0.45

Store B's bagels are $0.04 more than Store A's, so C is the correct answer.
