The local deli charges a fee for delivery. on monday, they delivered two dozen bagels to an office at a local cost of $8. on tuesday, three dozen bagels were delivered at a total cost of $11. write a system of equations that could be used to find the cost of a dozen bagels, b, if the delivery fee is f? use your system to determine the cost of the bagels, b, and fee, f.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement defines the variables and gives the relations ...

  2b + f = 8 . . . . total cost on Monday

  3b + f = 11 . . . . total cost on Tuesday

__

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

  (3b +f) -(2b +f) = 11 -8

  b = 3 . . . . . simplify

Substituting this into the first equation, we can solve for f

  2·3 +f = 8

  f = 2 . . . . . . . subtract 6

Bagels cost $3 per dozen; the delivery fee is $2.
