Question

kendra ows a restaurant she charges 3 dollars for two eggs and one piece of toast and 1.80 dollars for one egg and one piece of toast how much does kendra charge per egg and how mucj per piece of toast

Answer 1

Let's denote the cost per egg as "x" dollars and the cost per piece of toast as "y" dollars.

From the given information, we can create two equations:

1) 2x + y = 3 (Charging 3 dollars for two eggs and one piece of toast)
2) x + y = 1.80 (Charging 1.80 dollars for one egg and one piece of toast)

To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution. Solving equation 2) for y, we get:

y = 1.80 - x

Plugging this value into equation 1) and solving for x:

2x + (1.80 - x) = 3
2x + 1.80 - x = 3
x + 1.80 = 3
x = 3 - 1.80
x = 1.20

So, Kendra charges 1.20 dollars per egg.

To find the cost per piece of toast, we substitute this value of x into equation 2):

1.20 + y = 1.80
y = 1.80 - 1.20
y = 0.60

Therefore, Kendra charges 0.60 dollars per piece of toast.
