My answer:

Let p is the price of milk

Given the information:

• Stage 1: The price of a gallon milk was $2.65

<=> p = 2.65

• Stage 2: rose y dollar

<=> p = 2.65 + y

• Stage 3: price dropped $.15

<=> p = 2.65 + y - 0.15

• Stage 4: rose again by $0.05

<=> p = 2.65 + y - 0.15 + 0.05

<=> p = y + 2.55

Hope it will find you well.
