Question

A platter of 12 bagels at a bakery costs $10.80. The cost of 1 bagel represents the slope of this situation.

What is the slope?
0.11
0.90
6.50
10.80

Answer 1

To find the slope in this situation, we need to determine the cost of one bagel. The cost of a platter of 12 bagels is $10.80. To find the cost per bagel, we divide the total cost by the number of bagels:

\[
\text{Cost per bagel} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of bagels}} = \frac{10.80}{12}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
\frac{10.80}{12} = 0.90
\]

Therefore, the slope, which represents the cost of one bagel, is \(0.90\).

So, the correct answer is \(0.90\).
