PLEASE HELP ME IM BAD AT THIS EVEN THOUGH ITS REALLY EASY! SO YOU PROBABLY COULD DO IT!

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. CHOICES BELOW

Answer 1

THE ANSWERS ARE OPTION C and E

Explanation:

so there are 3 different types of loaves .

the price of french bread is
`f\\`;

from the question , we find that the price of wheat bread is twice of that of the french bread. thus ,

the price of wheat bread is
`2f`;

the price of cinnamon raisin bread is $2.50 more than the wheat bread. thus ,

the price of cinnamon raisin bread is
`2f+2.50`;

now the total amount she spent was : $11.25

thus ,

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

which gives us ,

`5f+2.50=11.25\\5f=8.75`

∴ The correct answers are C and E
