A loaf of a bread and 6 rolls cost 100.00 .
At the same prices, 2 loaves of bread and 3 rolls cost 128.00 .
----
Equations:
b + 6r = 100
2b+ 3r = 128
----
Multiply by 2 and solve for "r":
2b + 12r = 200
2b + 3r = 128
------------------
Subtract:
9r = 72
r = 8
---
Solve for "b":
b + 6r = 100
b + 6*8 = 100
b = 52
-----------------------------------------------
How much does one loaf and 3 rolls cost?
Solve: b + 3r = 52 + 3*8 = 76
-------------------------------------
How much does one loaf cost? What about one roll?
one loaf = 52
one roll = 8
