1. Calculate the cost per bagel for Leighton.
2. Calculate the cost per bagel for Charlize.
3. Determine the difference in cost per bagel between Leighton and Charlize.

STEP 3

Calculate the cost per bagel for Leighton by dividing the total cost by the number of bagels.
Cost per bagel for Leighton=11.9010\text{Cost per bagel for Leighton} = \frac{11.90}{10}
