Let x be the cost of one egg and y be the cost of one piece of toast.
From the given information, we can create the following system of equations:
2x + y = 3.00
x + y = 1.80
To solve this system of equations, we can use the substitution method.
From the second equation, we can rearrange it to get:
y = 1.80 - x
Now, substitute this expression for y into the first equation:
2x + (1.80 - x) = 3.00
2x + 1.80 - x = 3.00
x + 1.80 = 3.00
x = 3.00 - 1.80
x = 1.20
Now, substitute x back into the second equation to solve for y:
1.20 + y = 1.80
y = 1.80 - 1.20
y = 0.60
Therefore, Kendra charges $1.20 per egg and $0.60 for one piece of toast.
So, the correct answer is:
• $1.20 per egg; $0.60 for toast
Kendra owns a restaurant. She charges $3.00
for two eggs and one piece of toast and $1.80 for one egg and one piece of toast. How much does Kendra charge per egg? How much per piece of toast? Write and solve a system of equations.
