To determine how much Louis will pay for 800 bagels from the bakery with the lower price, we first need to calculate the cost per bagel at each bakery.
Bakery 1:
- 350 bagels for $168.00
- Cost per bagel = \( \frac{168.00}{350} = 0.48 \) (approximately)
Bakery 2:
- 475 bagels for $209.00
- Cost per bagel = \( \frac{209.00}{475} \approx 0.440 \) (approximately)
Now that we have the cost per bagel for both bakeries:
- Bakery 1: $0.48 per bagel
- Bakery 2: $0.440 per bagel
Bakery 2 has the lower price per bagel.
Now, we calculate the total cost for 800 bagels from Bakery 2:
- Total cost = \( 800 \times 0.440 = 352.00 \)
So, if Louis buys from the bakery with the lower price, he will pay $352.00 for 800 bagels.
