Melissa bought 3 loaves of freshly baked bread at a specialty bread shop. She paid twice as much for the whole grain bread as for the French bread, and $2.50 more for the cinnamon raisin bread than for the whole grain bread. She spent a total of $11.25 for the 3 loaves. If f represents the price of a loaf of French bread, which equations describe this situation? Select two answers.

Question

Melissa bought 3 loaves of freshly baked bread at a specialty bread shop. She paid twice as much for the whole grain bread as for the French bread, and $2.50 more for the cinnamon raisin bread than for the whole grain bread. She spent a total of $11.25 for the 3 loaves. If f represents the price of a loaf of French bread, which equations describe this situation? Select two answers.

A. f +f (f + 2.50) = 11.25
B. f + 2f+(f + 2.50)= 11.25
C. f + 2f + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25
D. 2f + 2.50 = 11.25
E. 5f = 8.75

Answer 1

Answer C.

f + 2 f + ( 2 f + 2.50 ) = 11.25

Do the math operations:

f + 2 f + ( 2 f + 2.50 ) = 11.25

f + 2 f + 2 f + 2.50 = 11.25

5 f + 2.50 = 11.25

5 f = 11.25 - 2.50

5 f = 8.75

This is answer E.

So C and E

Answer 2

I have no clue

Answer 3

B. f + 2f+(f + 2.50)= 11.25

C. f + 2f + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25

Answer 4

The equations that describe this situation are:

B. f + 2f + (f + 2.50) = 11.25

C. f + 2f + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25

Answer 5

Let's break down the information given in the problem:

1. Melissa bought 3 loaves of bread: whole grain, French, and cinnamon raisin.
2. She paid twice as much for the whole grain bread as for the French bread.
3. She paid $2.50 more for the cinnamon raisin bread than for the whole grain bread.
4. The total cost of the 3 loaves was $11.25.

Let's assign variables to the prices of each type of bread:
- f represents the price of a loaf of French bread
- 2f represents the price of a loaf of whole grain bread (twice the price of French bread)
- 2f + 2.50 represents the price of a loaf of cinnamon raisin bread ($2.50 more than the whole grain bread)

Based on this, we can now form the equations that describe the situation:

Equation 1: f + 2f + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25
This equation represents the total cost of the 3 loaves of bread, where the first term (f) represents the cost of French bread, the second term (2f) represents the cost of whole grain bread, and the third term (2f + 2.50) represents the cost of cinnamon raisin bread.

Equation 2: 2f + 2.50 = 11.25
This equation represents the price difference between the cinnamon raisin bread and the whole grain bread, where 2f represents the cost of whole grain bread and 2f + 2.50 represents the cost of cinnamon raisin bread.

Therefore, the equations that describe this situation are C. f + 2f + (2f + 2.50) = 11.25 and D. 2f + 2.50 = 11.25.
