Question

For every dollar Bennett spent on bagels, Dominic spent 25 cents less. Bennett

paid $12.50 more than Dominic. How much did they spend in the bagel store together?
(A) $37.50 (B) $50.00 (C) $87.50 (D) $90.00
(E) $92.50

Answer 1

The answer is C:$87.50

Explanation:

Ben - 1$

David - 0.75$

For each Bagel, Ben paid 0.25$ extra.

Then the total bagel Ben bought = 12.5/0.25 = 50 and the money spent = 50$

Then david spent = 3/4*50 = 37.5$

Total = 50+37.5 =$87.50
