Hang on, you said the roll is 30 cents.
How can it be more than the milk when the milk is 60 cents??
Also, you forgot to put "more than.." in a new line. :D

My answer: 30 cents. :D

milk = 0.6 + fruit
roll = 0.3 + milk = 0.3 + 0.6 + fruit

fruit + milk + roll = 3

3*fruit + 1.5 = 3

fruit = $0.5

therefore milk = $1.1 and roll = $1.4

I agree.
Let cost of fruit = x
Milk is x + 60
Roll is x + 60 + 30
Total cost of lunch is x + x + x + 60 + 60 + 30 = 300
3x + 150 = 300
3x = 300 - 150 = 150
x = 50
So Roll is 50 + 60 + 30 = 140 or $1.40
