loaf of rye bread

A certain bakery sells rye bread in 16-ounce loaves and 24-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 24-ounce loaf of rye bread in this bakery?

(1) The total price of a 16-ounce loaf and a 24-ounce loaf of this bread is $2.40.

(2) The total price of two 16-ounce loaves and one 24-ounce loaf of this bread is $3.40.

pick C

St1 : X+Y = 2.4

X,Y can take any number of values

St2 : 2X +Y = 3.4

(X,y ) = {1,1.4) or ( 1.5, 0.4)

Insufficient

COmbining st1 & st2

X,y = ( 1,1.4)

Pick C
