Question

You brought 1.5 dozen bagels to school. A dozen bagels cost $5.98. You used a coupon that took $1.00 off of the total. How much did you pay for the bagels?

Answer 1

1 dozen cost 5.98

 so 1.5 dozen cost : 5.98 x 1.5 = 8.97

 a coupon takes $1 off the price so

8.97-1.00 = 7.97

 they cost a total of $7.97

Answer 2
