    Orange juice costs 0.90, bagel costs 2 and a cup of coffee costs 0.45.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x, y and z be the cost of the orange juice, the raisin bagel and the cup of coffee respectively,

    Thus, the original cost = x + y + z

    ∵ the orange juice will cost twice as much as coffee

    ⇒ x = 2z ... (1)

    So, the total cost = 2z + y + z = y + 3z,

    After increasing the price of orange juice by 50% and the price of bagels by 20%,

    New cost = 150% of x + 120% of y + z = 1.5x + 1.2y + z = 3z + 1.2y + z = 1.2y + 4z

    According to the question,

    y + 3z = 3.35 ... (2)

    1.2y + 4z = 4.20 ... (3)

    Equation (3) - 1.2 * equation (2),

    4z - 3.6z = 4.20 - 4.02

    0.4z = 0.18

    ⇒ z = 0.45,

    From equation (2),

    y + 1.35 = 3.35

    ⇒ y = 2,

    From equation (1),

    x = 2 (0.45) = 0.9
