Answer 1

Well you need to figure out how much a single bagel costs can you do that?

Answer 2

i knew i had to do that but the fact that there were diiferent numbers of bagels for different stores instead of them both being the same number threw me off

Answer 3

First, organize the data.
STORE A
5 Bagels = $2.05

STORE B
3 Bagels = $1.35

Second, find the unit price per bagel for each store.
STORE A.
1 Bagel = .41 cents

STORE B
1 Bagel = .45 cents

We see that Store A is the cheaper option, saving us 4 cents.

You can find the unit price by dividing the number of bagels from each side.

The answer is
