Melissa bought 3 loaves of freshly baked bread at a specialty bread shop. She paid twice as much for the whole grain bread as for the French bread, and $2.50 more for the cinnamon raisin bread than for the whole grain bread. She spent a total of $11.25 for the 3 loaves. If f represents the price of a loaf of French bread, which equation describes this situation?

A. f + f + (f + 2.50) + 11.25

B. f + 2f + (f + 2.50) + 11.25

C. 2f + 2.50 = 11.25

D. f + 2f + (2f + 2.5) = 11.25

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first f is the price of the french bread, the 2f is the price of the whole grain (twice that of the french) and f+$2.50 is the cost of the cinnamon raisin ($2.50 more than the french)
