Question

It costs $2.99 for a dozen bagels at the local bakery. What is the unit rate per bagel?

Answer 1

The cost of the dozen of bagels at the local bakery is 2.99 dollars.  Now, we need to find the unit rate per bagel - meaning, find the price of each bagel if the dozen of it costs 2.99 dollars=> 1 dozen is equals to 12 pieces.now, if the  12 pieces of the bagel is 2.99 dollars, how much will each of the bagel costs?=> 2.99 dollars / 12 pieces=> 0.25 dollars / bagel - that is the unit rate that we were looking. Each bagel cost 0.25 dollars, that makes it 2.99 dollars for 1 dozen
