a. $.60 per egg; $1.20 for toast
b. $.60 per egg; $.60 for toast
c. $1.20 per egg; $1.20 for toast
d. $1.20 per egg; $.60 for toast

Answer 1

d. is the answer forbesk12

Answer 2

2e+t=3 solve for toast

t=3-2e then we are told

e+t=1.8 now use t found above and you get

e+3-2e=1.8 combine like terms on left

-e+3=1.8 subtract 3 from both sides

-e=-1.2 divide both sides by -1

e=1.20 and since e+t=1.8 then

t=0.6

So an egg costs $1.20 and a piece of toast costs $0.60
