A certain bakery sells wheat bread in 8-ounce loaves and all loaves of the same size sell for the same price per loaf regardless of the number of loaves purchased. What is the price of a 12-ounce loaf of wheat bread in this bakery?
(1) The price of two 8-ounce loaves of this bread is $1.80.
(2) The pice of one 8-ounce loaf and 12-ounce loaf of this bread is $2.00
The OA is C.
Let the price of 8-ounce loaf=X
The price of 12-ounce loaf=y
(1) 2x=1.8
x=$0.9
no info on y, not sufficient.
(2) x+y=2
x&y could be anything, not sufficient.
Combining we get x=$0.9
thus y=$1.1
Sufficient.
Hence, the correct answer is C.
Has anyone another strategic approach to solve this PS question? Regards!
