Answer 1

$1

Explanation:

Wheat Bread Regular Price = 2.29

Wheat Bread Sale Price = 1.79

So, how much is saved?

2.29 - 1.79 = $0.50

We don't know how much 1 gallon of milk costs, but it directly says that ther is 50 cents off! So, the savings is:

$0.50 on gallon of milk

So, total savings:

$0.50 + $0.50 = $1.00
