Dwayne buys 1 loaf of bread and 6 eggs for $4.45. Sheila buys 1 loaf of bread and 1 dozen eggs for $5.65. Let x be the cost, in dollars, of a loaf of bread. Let y be the cost, in dollars, of an egg.

cost of bread = $3.25

Cost per egg = $0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of a loaf of bread and 6 eggs = $4.45 - - (1)

Cost of a loaf of bread and a dozen eggs ( 12 eggs) = $5.65 - - - (2)

Let x = cost of bread and y = cost of egg

x + 6y = 4.45

x + 12y = 5.65

Subtract 1 from 2

6y - 12y = 4.45 - 5.65

-6y = - 1.2

y = $0.2

Hence,

From x + 6y = $4.45

Where y = $0.2

x + 6($0.2) = $4.45

x + $1.2 = $4.45

x = $4.45 - $1.2

x = $3. 25

Hence, cost of bread = $3.25

Cost per egg = $0.2
