Emma spent $23.23 on 2 dozen bagels and a gallon of iced tea. The price of the gallon of iced tea was $5.25. The following equation can be used to find d, the price of each dozen of bagels. 2d + 5.25 = 23.23 What was the price of each dozen of bagels? A.
$11.62
B.
$8.99
C.
$6.36
D.
$7.99

Respuesta :

23.23 - 5.25 = 17.98

d = 17.98 ÷ 2

d = 8.99

The answer is B. $8.99
The answer is B. 8.99 because your doing algebra here. You would subtract 5.25 when writing the equation 2d  + 5.25 = 23.23 from both the 5.25 and the 23.23. So you are left with 2d = 17.98 then divide 17.98 by 2 to find the cost of a dozen of bagels
