At a bakery, a latte costs three times as much as a bagel. I bought a latte and a bagel, and the
total cost was $5.00. How much does a latte cost, and how much does a bagel cost?

Answer 1

Answer: A bagel cost 1.25$ and a latte cost 3.75$

Explanation:

Let a latte be y

Let a bagel be x

3x = y Total cost = 5$

A bagel is x, plus the 3x

4x = 5

x = 1.25

Sub back into 3x = y

3*1.25 = 3.75

Answer 2

bagel $1.25

latte: $3.75

Explanation:

Let the price of a bagel = b.

A latte costs 3 times as much as a bagel, so the price of a latte is 3b.

b + 3b = 5

4b = 5

b = 1.25

3b = 3.75

Answer:

bagel $1.25

latte: $3.75
