more than the milk the milk is 60cents more than the fruit,how much is the roll

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.

My answer: 30 cents.

[Wongo]

ok she took her work book to school so my memery is not what it use to be

mary spends 3.00$ ,the roll is 30cents more than the milk the milk is 60cents more than the fruit,how much is the roll

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

[RobP]

$1.40, he ventured, anxiously hoping he would not be required to stay late on a Friday afternoon.

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
