Question

Laurie buys milk and bread for his family on the way
home from school each day, paying with a $10 note. If he buys three cartons of milk and two loaves of bread, he receives 5 cents in change. If he buys two cartons of milk and one loaf of bread, he receives $4.15 in change. How much does each item cost?

Answer 1

3m+2b = 995
2m+b = 585

Now just solve for m and b (in cents)
