Let's say each dozen of bagels costs d dollars.
She bought 5 dozen bagels, so the cost of the bagels is 5d dollars.
The cost of the gallon of iced tea is $5.25.
The total cost of the bagels and the iced tea is $55.20.
Therefore, the equation can be written as:
5d + 5.25 = 55.20
Subtracting 5.25 from both sides of the equation, we get:
5d = 49.95
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5, we get:
d = 9.99
Therefore, the price of each dozen of bagels is $9.99.
The answer is D. $9.99.
