Question: An order of bacon and an order of pancakes cost $11.00 altogether. An order of pancakes and a cold-pressed juice cost $10 altogether. A cold-pressed juice and an order of bacon cost $9 altogether. If all menu items cost whole-dollar amounts, how much does a double-order of pancakes cost?
Answer: $12
Solution: The juice and pancakes together cost $1 more than the juice and bacon, so we know that the pancakes must cost $1 more than the bacon. The only whole-dollar amounts with a difference of $1 that add up to $11 for bacon and pancakes are $5 and $6 respectively. So, a double-order of pancakes costs $6x2=$12.
