Question

Louis found two bakeries to provide bagels for his sub shop. The first bakery offers 350 bagels for $168.00 and the second bakery offers 475 bagels for $209. How much will Louis pay for 800 bagels if he buys from the bakery with the lower price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$352

Step-by-step explanation:

Find out the price of one bagel by dividing the price by the number of bagels:

350 Bagels = $168

1 Bagel = $0.48

475 Bagels = $209

1 Bagel = $0.44

0.48 > 0.44

This means the second bakery has the lower price.

Louis wants 800 bagels, so multiply the price by 800.

0.44 * 800 = $352

You can check it's lower by comparing it with the first bakery.

0.48 * 800 = $384

384 > 352
