A bakery sells a dozen bagels for $8.50 and a dozen donuts for $3.99. Write an expression for the

cost of buying b dozen bagels and d dozen donuts.

Answer 1

Total cost = ($8.50b) + ($3.99d)

Explanation:

In a bakery, the cost of a dozen bagels = $8.50

and the cost of a dozen donuts = $3.99

1 Dozen = 12 pieces

Let 'b' represents the number of bagels (in dozen) and d represents dozen donuts.

The expression that represents total cost of b dozen bagels and d dozen donuts would be :

Total cost = ($8.50b) + ($3.99d)
