On Monday, the office staff at your school paid $8.77 for 4 cups of coffee and 7 bagels. On Wednesday, they paid $15.80 for 8 cups of coffee and 14 bagels. Can you determine the cost of a bagel? Explain.
The pricing is inconsistent. The double order should be double the price, $17.54. There are no prices for bagels or coffee that will match both purchases.
