Kendra owns a restaurant. she charges $3.00 for 2 eggs and one piece of toast, and $1.80 for one egg and one toast. how much does kendra charge for an egg? A piece of toast
well, write it as an equation, 2e+t=3
ok
@JohnKnows
the only difference between 2 eggs and a piece of toast, and one egg and a piece of toast, is the egg so the egg must cost \(3.00-1.80\)
i dont understand @satellite73
For the egg they're saying that if you do $3.00- $1.80 you get the price of one egg. So one egg is $1.20.
but its a two step question write?
Yes. So he only answered the first part. You use the information you found to answer the second part. If 1 egg and 1 toast is $1.80 and 1 egg is $1.20 then you do $1.80-$1.20 to get the price of toast. So what's $1.80-$1.20?
oh ok!! $1.80- $2.20=.6 so the toast was .60cents
