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, what equation describes this situation?
+36915 Prices f
w = 2f
r = 2.50 + w = 2.50 + 2f
Summed, they equal 11.25
f + 2f + 2.5 +2f = 11.25
solve for 'f' the french bread price, then w = 2f and r = 2.5 + 2f
