Question

Emma spent $37.21 on 4 dozen bagels and a gallon of iced tea. The price of the gallon of iced tea was $5.25. The following equation can be used to find d, the price of each dozen of bagels.

4d + 5.25 = 37.21

What was the price of each dozen of bagels?

Answer 1

Subtracting $5.25 from both sides of the equation, we get:

4d = 31.96

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we find that d = $7.99.

Therefore, the price of each dozen of bagels was $7.99.
