Question

You brought 1.5 dozen bagels to school. A dozen bagels cost $5.98. You used a coupon that took $1.00 off of the total. How much did you pay for the bagels?

Answer 1

$7.97

Explanation:

multiply to find the total cost and then subtracting the coupon amount.

Answer 2

1 dozen cost 5.98

so 1.5 dozen cost : 5.98 x 1.5 = 8.97

a coupon takes $1 off the price so

8.97-1.00 = 7.97

they cost a total of $7.97
