If the current price of bread dropped by 44 cents, 9 loaves of bread would cost as much as 7 do now. what is the current price of bread?

198 cents or 1.98 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the current price of the bread in cents,

So, the price of 7 bread = 7x cents,

If the current price of bread dropped by 44 cents,

New price of each bread = x - 44

So, the price of 9 bread = 9(x - 44)

According to the question,

7x = 9(x - 44)

7x = 9x - 396

7x - 9x = -396

-2x = -396

⇒ x = 198

Hence, the current cost of bread is 198 cents or 1.98 dollars.
