Question

Nick has $7.00. Bagels cost $0.75 each and a small container of cream cheese costs $1.29. how many bagels can Nick buy?

Answer 1

9 bagels.

Explanation:

This question doesn’t state whether or not Nick wants cream cheese, so we’ll assume he doesn’t.

Since each bagel costs $0.75 and Nick has $7, he can afford `\frac{7}{0.75}` bagels.

`\frac{7}{0.75}=9.\overline{3}`, which rounds down to `9`.

So, Nick can afford 9 bagels, assuming he doens’t buy cream cheese.

I ignored the cream cheese part becuase the question asks specifically about bagels.
