Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. The bagels cost $2.25 each, or a dozen for $24. How much is saved, per bagel, in cents, by buying a dozen at a time?
They cost 2.25 * 100 = 225 cents each. At the bulk rate, they are 24 / 12 = 2 dollar each. They cost 2 * 100 = 200 cents each. 225 - 200 = 25 cents are saved per bagel.
The final answer: 25.
