Lawrence · Answer 1

A bag of bread rolls costs x dollars

A loaf of multigrain bread cost two dollars more than a bag of bread rolls = x + 2

Let the number of loaves of multigrain loaves Mr Lopez bought be n, then

n (x + 2) = 50

n = 50 / (x + 2)

Therefore, the number of loaves of bread he buys is given by n = 50 / (x + 2).
