a cup of coffee cost .75 cents more than a donut, angelo buys 6 donuts and 2 muffins which cost 12.50 total. how much does 1 muffin cost

1 answer

Let's say the cost of a donut is x.
Therefore, the cost of a cup of coffee is x + $0.75.
The cost of 6 donuts is 6x.
The cost of 2 muffins is 2 * cost per muffin = $2x.
The total cost of 6 donuts and 2 muffins is 12.50, so 6x + 2x = 12.50.
Combining like terms, we get 8x = 12.50.
Dividing both sides by 8, we get x = 12.50 / 8 = $1.5625.
Therefore, the cost of one muffin is $2x = $2 * $1.5625 = $3.125. Answer: \boxed{3.125}.
