Nice problem !! Thanks for posting it ! It has nice solution, too.
Two eggs with bacon cost $2.70.
One egg with bacon costs $1.80.
HENCE (!), one egg costs exactly $2.70 - $1.80 = $0.90. Agree ?
Now only one step remains to reveal that the bacon itself costs $1.80 - $0.90 = $0.90.
Answer. The bacon alone costs $0.90.
