1i believe that the total amount of pain bagels she bought was 10

Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is 5/6 dozen.

To find our answer we must subtract the amounts of grain bagels and sesame bagels from the total bought amount. We get the following:

$1 \frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{6} = 1 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{6}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{6}$

Therefore, Maria bought 5/6 dozen of plain bagels.
