Answer:

You bought 5 bagels.

Explanation:

Since you buy a coffee every day and it says "after 10 days" you multiply the price of the coffee by 10: $3.35 * 10 = $33.5

It also says that the remaining balance on the gift card is $1.75. So you need to subtract that from the original balance, 50: $50- $1.75 = $48.25 - this is the amount of money you spent.

Next, you subtract the price of all the coffees you bought from the amount of total money you spent over the course of 10 days. $48.25 - $33.5 = $14.75

This remaining money is for the bagels that you bought on some days. The last step should be to divide $14.75 by the price of one single bagel:

$14.75 / 2.95 = 5

You bought 5 bagels.

Hope this helps!!!!
