Question

Kayla bought 16 bagels. She paid a total of 20$. write an equation to determine whether each bagel cost 1.50 or 1.25

Answer 1

If we let the variable x represent the cost of one bagel, then we can write the following equation for this situation:

16 x = $20

To solve for x , divide both sides of the equation by 16:

16 x /16 = $20/16

x = $1.25

Each bagel will cost $1.25
