Question

Melissa bought 3 loaves of freshly baked bread at a specialty bread shop. She paid twice as much for the whole grain bread as for the French bread, and $2.50 more for the cinnamon raisin bread than for the whole grain bread. She spent a total of $11.25 for the 3 loaves. If f represents the price of a loaf of French bread, which equations describe this situation? Select two answers.
A. f +f (f + 2.50) = 11.25
B. f + 2f+(f + 2.50)= 11.25
C. f + 2f + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25
D. 2f + 2.50 = 11.25
E. 5f = 8.75

Answer 1

Answer C.

f + 2 f + ( 2 f + 2.50 ) = 11.25

Do the math operations:

f + 2 f + ( 2 f + 2.50 ) = 11.25

f + 2 f + 2 f + 2.50 = 11.25

5 f + 2.50 = 11.25

5 f = 11.25 - 2.50

5 f = 8.75

This is answer E.

So C and E
