Question

The table shows the sales of plain and Asiago cheese bagels at a bakery for h hours.

After 6 hours, how much more will the bakery have made in sales of Asiago cheese bagels than the sales of plain bagels?

Answer 1

Answer: 61.50 dollars

================================================

How to get that answer:

Plug h = 6 into each expression to find the number of each type sold

• Asiago = 12h+7 = 12*6+7 = 79
• Plain = 7h-4 = 7*6-4 = 38

Then multiply each bagel count by the price of those bagels

• Asiago Sales = 79*1.50 = 118.50 dollars
• Plain Sales = 38*1.50 = 57 dollars

The last step is to subtract the two revenues

118.50 - 57 = 61.50 dollars
