Answer 1

B, C and E is the right answer.

Explanation:

To determine which options have a unit price for bagels greater than what Caleb paid, we need to calculate the unit price for each option by dividing the total price by the number of bagels.

A) $2.25 for 6 bagels

Unit price = $2.25 / 6 = $0.375 per bagel

B) $13.50 for 18 bagels

Unit price = $13.50 / 18 = $0.75 per bagel

C) $3.30 for 6 bagels

Unit price = $3.30 / 6 = $0.55 per bagel

D) $5.00 for 12 bagels

Unit price = $5.00 / 12 = $0.4167 per bagel

E) $8.10 for 18 bagels

Unit price = $8.10 / 18 = $0.45 per bagel

Now, let's compare these unit prices to what Caleb paid ($4.50 for 12 bagels):

The unit price Caleb paid = $4.50 / 12 = $0.375 per bagel

Options with a unit price greater than what Caleb paid are:

B) $13.50 for 18 bagels ($0.75 per bagel)

C) $3.30 for 6 bagels ($0.55 per bagel)

E) $8.10 for 18 bagels ($0.45 per bagel)

So, options B, C, and E have a unit price for bagels greater than what Caleb paid.
