Answer 1

The price of a loaf of bread in dollars and cents is;

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$1.50} \\ or \\ 1\text{ dollar and 50 cents} \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

The ratio of a price of dozen eggs is the price of a loaf of bread is 5:3

And together dozen eggs and a loaf of bread cost $4.

The price of a loaf of bread in dollars and cents is;

`\begin{gathered} b=(3)/(3+5)*\text{ \$4} \\ b=(3)/(8)*\text{ \$4} \\ b=\frac{\text{ \$12}}{\text{8}} \\ b=\text{ \$1.50} \\ \end{gathered}`

The price is the ratio of a loaf of bread divided by the total ratio multiplied by the total cost of the two items.

Therefore, the price of a loaf of bread in dollars and cents is;

`\begin{gathered} \text{ \$1.50} \\ or \\ 1\text{ dollar and 50 cents} \end{gathered}`
