Question

A bakery sells 6 bagels for $2.99. What is the cost, in dollars, for 48 bagels?

A. $10.76
B. $13.16
C. $23.92
D. $37.08

Answer 1

to solve this we can set up fractions of total cost over bagels and then cross multiply
6 bagels for 2.99: 2.99/6
48 bagels for x cost: x/48

2.99/6 and x/48
2.99(48)=143.52
6(x)=6x

6x=143.52
/6 /6
x=23.92

The total cost is C: $23.92.

Answer 2

Answer: $23.92

Explanation:

First, we know that 6 bagels is $2.99.

48/6=8

This means that 6 is a multiple of 48, which makes it easier to solve.

$2.99 x 8 = 23.92

= $23.92
