At the taste Bakery,cupcakes cost fifty cents each.Bagel cost a dollar twenty five.How much more do two bagels cost than two cupcakes
two bagels = 2 * 1.25 = 2.50
two cupcakes = 2 *0.50 = 1.00
2.50 - 1.00 = ?
cupcakes =0.50 x 2 =1.00
bagels=1.25 x 2 =2.50
1.00 - 2.50 =1.50
To find out how much more two bagels cost than two cupcakes, we need to calculate the total cost of two bagels and the total cost of two cupcakes, and then find the difference between the two amounts.
First, let's calculate the total cost of two bagels. Since each bagel costs $1.25, we multiply this price by 2:
Total cost of two bagels = $1.25 * 2
Next, let's calculate the total cost of two cupcakes. Since each cupcake costs $0.50, we multiply this price by 2:
Total cost of two cupcakes = $0.50 * 2
Finally, we subtract the total cost of two cupcakes from the total cost of two bagels to find out the difference:
Difference = Total cost of two bagels - Total cost of two cupcakes
By performing these calculations, you will find out exactly how much more two bagels cost than two cupcakes.
