Kendra owns a restaurant. She charges $3.00 for two eggs and one piece of toast and $1.80 for one egg and one piece of toast. How much does Kendra charge per egg? How much per piece of toast?

lets t = # pieces of toast
e = # of eggs

2e + t = 3
e + t = 1.8
----------------subtract
e = 1.2
t = 1.8 - e
t = 1.8 - 1.2
t = 0.6
