Question: Dale and Andrew had breakfast at a cafe. A slice of toast costs £1, and eggs cost £3 each. Dale had 2 slices of toast and 2 eggs. Andrew had 1 slice of toast and 2 eggs. How much did their breakfast cost? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The cost of Dale's toast is 2 × $1 = $2. The cost of Andrew's toast is 1 × $1 = $1. The cost of Dale's eggs is 2 × $3 = $6. The cost of Andrew's eggs is 2 × $3 = $6. Their breakfast cost $2 + $1 + $6 + $6 = $15. So the answer is 15.
