Answer 1

Bryant and Sarah would save $273 on bread each year if they have their son Daniel make homemade bread.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the savings on bread each year, we need to determine the cost difference between buying store-bought bread and making homemade bread.

Currently, Bryant and Sarah buy three $4 loaves of bread each week, which totals to 3 x 4 = $12 spent on bread per week.

With homemade bread, the cost for ingredients is 75 cents per loaf, and their son Daniel is paid $1.50 per loaf to make the bread. So, the cost per homemade loaf is 75 cents + $1.50 = $2.25.

To find the savings per week, we subtract the cost of homemade bread from the cost of store-bought bread:

$12 - (3 x $2.25) = $12 - $6.75

= $5.25.

To find the annual savings, we multiply the weekly savings by the number of weeks in a year (52): $5.25 x 52 = $273.

Therefore, Bryant and Sarah would save $273 on bread each year if they have Daniel make their bread.
