Answer:

$3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the cost of a box of cereal and let m represent the cost of a jug of milk.

Create a system of equations:

2c + m = 8.5

3c + 2m = 14

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -2:

-4c - 2m = -17

3c + 2m = 14

Add them together and solve for c:

-c = -3

c = 3

So, a box of cereal costs $3
