Question

3) Ashley is buying a bagel for her friends for lunch. The person

in front of her buys a half a dozen bagels (6) for $38.35. How
much would she pay for her and 8 friends bagels?

Answer 1

51.13

Explanation:

38.35/6=6.39

6.39 * 8=51.13

Answer 2

If the person in front of Ashley bought 6 bagels for $38.35, then one bagel costs 38.35/6 = $6.39.

If Ashley wants to buy bagels for herself and 8 friends, she needs to buy a total of 9 bagels (1 for herself and 8 for her friends).

Therefore, the cost of 9 bagels would be 9 x $6.39 = $57.51.

So Ashley would pay $57.51 for bagels for herself and 8 friends.
