Question 1170705: The cost of a bagel at Tim Horton’s is $0.99 and the cost of a large coffee is $1.29. If Derek purchases 4 more bagels than large coffees and spends $10.80 total, how many of each did he purchase? Answer by ikleyn(53937) (Show Source):
Let x be the number of coffee.
Then the number of bagels is (x+4).
You write the total cost equation
0.99*(x+4) + 1.29x = 10.80.
From the equation, you get
x = = 3.
ANSWER. 3 coffee and 3+4 = 7 bagels.
