A bakery is having a sale on bread. A regular loaf costs $2, and a whole wheat loaf costs $2.50. If Sara buys a total of 5 loaves, 3 of which are whole wheat, how much did she spend in total?
Correct: A
Sara buys 3 whole wheat loaves and 2 regular loaves. The cost of the whole wheat loaves is 3 * $2.50 = $7.50. The cost of the regular loaves is 2 * $2 = $4. The total cost is $7.50 + $4 = $11.50.
