At a bagel shop the first 6 bagels purchased cost 55 cents apiece, and additional bagels cost c cents apiece. If a customer paid $5.70 for 12 bagels, what is the value of c?
Correct answer: D. 40
- A. 25
- B. 30
- C. 35
- D. 40
Explanation
The correct answer is Option D. The value of c is 40 cents. By calculating the total cost of the first 6 bagels and subtracting it from the total amount paid, we find that the remaining amount is 240 cents for the last 6 bagels, resulting in c = 40 cents. Options A, B, and C do not match the remaining amount and are therefore incorrect.
