No, Barbra is wrong as cost of 1 loaf of bread is £1.50 not $1.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Barbara buys 3 boxes of eggs costing £1.20 each

1 jar of mayo costing £1.80

2 loaves of bread

she pays £10 note and gets £1.60 change

Barbara works out the cost of 1 loaf of bread as £1.40.

Is she correct? You MUST show your working out.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

Total cost of 3 boxes of eggs = Number of boxes of eggs bought * Price per box of egg = 3 * £1.2 = £3.60

Cost of 1 jar of mayo = £1.80

Total amount spent = Note paid - Change collected = £10 - £1.60 = £8.40

Total cost of 2 loaves of bread = Total amount spent - Total cost of 3 boxes of eggs - Cost of 1 jar of mayo = £8.40 - £3.60 - £1.80 = £3.00

Cost of 1 loaf of bread = Total cost of 2 loaves of bread / 2 = £3.00 / 2 = £1.50

Therefore, Barbra is wrong as cost of 1 loaf of bread is £1.50 not $1.40.
