Jake is going to the store to buy one gallon of milk and 2 loaves of bread. The milk cost $2.98 a gallon. Jake's total was $6.94. How much did each loaf of bread cost?
+1316 Ok This is easy to do. The total is 6.94 and take away 2.98 that what the milk cost that leave 3.96, and that is what 2 loaf of bread cost. Divide 3.96 by 2 and that is 1.98 and that is what 1 loaf of bread cost.
If you do it like algebra it look like this
2(b) + 1(m) = 6.94
m = 2.98
2(b) + 1(2.98) = 6.94
2b =6.94-2.89 subtract 2.98 from both sides
2b=3.96 divide both sides by 2
1b=1.98
1b is the same as (b)
