Answer:

5 dozen Donuts

7 dozen bagels

Step-by-step explanation:

5 * 9 = 45

7 * 8 = 56

56 + 45 = 101

Answer: He bought 5 dozen donuts

Step-by-step explanation:

d + b = 12   where d is the number of donuts and b is the number of bagels.

9d + 8b= 101  now solve the two equations using the elimination method

-9d - 9b =-108

9d  + 8b = 101

        -1b = -7

  b = 7

9d + 8(7)= 101

9d + 57 = 101

9d = 45

d= 5
