Question

15 POINTS PLS ANSWER! A bagel shop sells bagels by the half dozen. The table at the right shows the number of bagels a shop gives per ​"half dozen​" ordered. Write an algebraic expression that gives the rule for finding the number of bagels in any number b of half dozens.

Answer 1

9×6=54

(6 is a half dozen)

The table shows that each part it multiplied by 6,

6×6=36

7×6=42

8×6=48

(b) represents nine, and six is a half a dozen, so,

(b)9×6 (half a dozen)

Answer 2

The expression that gives the number of bagels is 6b.

Explanation:

The given table is ;

6 36

7 42

8 48

b ----

Let 'b' represents the bagels in any number of half dozen.

Let the total number of bagels be represented by x.

Now, we can represent the situation as follows:

`x=6b`

The expression that gives the number of bagels is 6b.

We can check this also.

When b = 7, we get x = 42

when b = 8, we get x = 48
