The least expensive price for a bagel is $0.65
If a customer purchases 12 bagels (at $0.65 each), then he/she receives 13 bagels.

So, the minimum amount that a customer could pay to receive 13 bagels = 12 x $0.65 = $7.80

Answer: B

The minimum amount paid for 12 bagels is 0.65 x 12 = $7.80, and the customer will then get the 13th free.
