Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A liter of milk cost $.75

A loaf of bread cost $1.75

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of milk = $ m

Cost of bread = $ b

3m + 5b = 11   ------------------(I)

4m + 4b = 10       ----------------(II)

Multiply equation (I) by 4 and multiply equation (II) by (-3). Thus when you add, m will be eliminated and we can find the value of b

(I)*4            12m + 20b = 44

(II)*(-3)       -12m - 12b = -30   {Now add & m will be eliminated}

                             8b  = 14

b = 14/8

b = $ 1.75

Cost of a loaf of bread = $ 1.75

Plugin  the value of b in equation (I)

3m + 5*1.75 = 11

3m + 8.75 = 11

3m = 11 - 8.75

3m = 2.25

m = 2.25/3

m = $ 0.75

Cost of  one liter of milk = $ 0.75
