Question

A bakery sells 6 bagels for $2.99 and 4 muffins for $3.29. What is the total cost in dollars for 4 dozens bagels and 16 muffins, not including tax?

Answer 1

You're buying 4*12=48 bagels and 16 muffins.
6 bagels cost $2.99, and you're buying 8 times that (8*6=48), so you are paying 8*2.99 for bagels.

Answer 2

4 muffins cost $3.29, and you're buying 4 times that (4*4=16), so you are paying 4*3.29 for muffins.

Answer 3

So overall you're paying:
8*2.99+4*3.29 dollars for everything.

Answer 4

Thank you!
