For every loaf of bread that Ted buys, he needs an additional 2 packs of sandwich meat and 2 packs of sliced cheese to make 10 sandwiches. The bread costs $4.00, the sandwich meat costs $5.00 per pack and the cheese costs $4.00 per pack. He has a $1.00 off coupon for one pack of cheese and an additional $1.00 coupon for one pack of meat. How much does each sandwich cost?
Let’s work this out in a step by step way to be sure we have the right answer.

He buys 2 packs of sandwich meat at $5.

00 a pack so 2 * 5.

00 = $10.

00.

He buys 2 packs of cheese at $4.

00 a pack so 2 * 4.

00 = $8.

00.

The loaf of bread cost $4.

00 plus $10.

00 for meat and $8.

00 for cheese so his total is 4 + 10 + 8 = $22.

00.

He has coupons to use a checkout so his new total is 22 - 1 - 1 = $20.

00.

He can make 10 sandwiches from his purchase and his purchase total is $20 so 20 / 10 = $2.
