Question

Leo’s dad brought home some bagels and muffins. Each bagel cost $0.90 and each muffin cost $0.80. Altogether he brought home 9 items for a total cost of $7.60.

Answer 1

Leo's dad bought 4 bagels and 5 muffins.

Explanation:

The total cost was 7.60, and had 9 items. I figured that the solution of (__ x 0.9) needed to end with 60 cents.

4 x 0.9 = 3.6

5 x 0.8 = 4.0

3.6 + 4.0 = 7.60.

Total of 9 items, adding up to 7.60.
