You are at the store, and are trying to remember how much bread, meat, and cheese you were supposed to buy. The bread costs $1 p
er loaf, the meat costs $4 per pound, and the cheese costs $3 per pound. You know that you are to buy eight items, that the total cost will be $17, and that you are supposed to purchase three times as much cheese as meat. How many of each do you need to purchase?
I wrote my answer in the comments, but I’ll say it again; the answer is likely B. Because the other options are not very relevant. B. Is the option most likely to be disputed on. I do not know if this is the answer however, but this was what I thought.
