You are told that a shop sells a dozen bagels (12 bagels) for $5. From this, you can derive the cost of one bagel by dividing the total price by the number of bagels: $5 \u00f7 12 = approximately $0.4166. Rounded to the nearest penny, this gives us $0.42 per bagel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once we know the unit price, we can answer any related question. For instance, to find the cost of 6 bagels, you multiply the unit price ($0.4166&#8230;) by 6, which gives about $2.50. That\u2019s half a dozen bagels for half the price of a dozen\u2014this checks out logically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the second question, you&#8217;re asked how many bagels you can buy with $50. If 12 bagels cost $5, then you divide $50 by $5 to find how many sets of 12 bagels you can afford. $50 \u00f7 $5 = 10. Since each set includes 12 bagels, you multiply 10 \u00d7 12 to get 120 bagels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding unit pricing is a key math skill used in shopping, budgeting, and business. It helps consumers compare prices and make informed decisions. In this example, by breaking down the problem into smaller steps\u2014finding the cost per item, multiplying or dividing as needed\u2014you arrive at correct, logical answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/learnexams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/learnexams-banner4-467.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226669\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A shop sells bagels for2.50 2.
