Answer:
Cost of one doughnut is $0.25
Explanation:
Let the rate of one doughnut = $x
On Saturday he bought a large coffee and 2 doughnuts.
Cost of one large coffee = $1.25
Cost of 2 doughnuts = $2x
Total cost = $(1.25 + 2x)
On Sunday, he bought a small coffee and 5 doughnuts.
Cost of one small coffee = $0.50
Cost of 5 doughnuts = $5x
Total cost = $(0.50 + 5x)
Since, Brian spent same amount of money each morning,
Total expenditure on Saturday morning = Total expenditure on Sunday morning
(1.25 + 2x) = (0.50 + 5x)
1.25 - 0.50 = 5x - 2x
0.75 = 3x
x = $0.25
Therefore, cost of one doughnut is $0.25
