Answer 1

Answer:

$1.28 bread $1.62 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is easier than it looks as we can find a pattern with

12.98 and 11.67

t =       1   +  1  = 20.

u =     2   +  1   =  3.0

d =     8  + 6    =  1.4

du =   9  +  7   = 0.16

=24.56 /  4, 2, 3, 1 = 100 + 50 + 75 + 25 = 250 equal so we have 24.56 and this is 44 away.

We choose common number and highest number.

= 1 + 9 + 44

24.56 = 12 cans and 3 loaves

19.44/12 = $1.62 x 19.44 = 4.88 + 9.60 = 4 cans + 8 cans

$1.62 cans.

4.56+ 56 = 5.12

5.12/4 = $1.28 bread each
