You brought 1.5 dozen bagels to school. A dozen bagels cost $5.98. You used a coupon that took $1.00 off of the total. How much did you pay for the bagels?

Respuesta :

1 Dozen = 12
1 Dozen = $5.98
1/2 Dozen = 6
1/2 Dozen = $2.99

Add 1 Dozen ($5.98) and 1/2 Dozen ($2.99) Which Equals= $8.97 then subtract the $1.00 Coupon So final answer is $7.97 for 1.5 dozen bagels.

Answer: He would pay $7.97 for the bagel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of dozen bagels he brought to school = 1.5

Cost of a dozen = $5.98

Total cost of 1.5 dozen bagels he brought to school is given by

[tex]1.5\times 5.98\\\\=\$8.97[/tex]

According to question, he used a coupon that took $1.00 off of the total .

so, it becomes

[tex]\$8.97-\$1.00\\\\=\$7.97[/tex]

Hence, he would pay $7.97 for the bagel.
