If a dozen bagels cost $5.40, how much does one bagel cost?

$0.45

If 12 bagels cost $5.40 then that means 12 bagels times x(the price we need to find) all equals $5.40.

simply: ##12 * x = 5.40##

divide 5.40 by 12 to leave x alone on one side.:

##12/5.40 = x##

then divide by hand or use a calculator to get 45 cents per bagel.
