At the bakery, cupcakes cost 50 cents each. Bagels cost $1.25. How much do two bagels cost? How much do two cupcakes cost? How much more do the bagels cost than the cupcakes?
Bagels cost $1.25 = 125 cents
Cupcakes cost 50 cents
i) Two bagels cost 125 x 2 = 250 cents, or $2.50
ii) Two cupcakes cost 50 x 2 = 100 cents, or $1.00
iii) Bagels cost 125 - 50 = 75 cents more than cupcakes :)
