Candice buys all the bread she and her family needs for the week from a local bakery. She needs 2 loaves of white bread for sandwiches that cost $3.50 each. She also needs a baguette that costs $1.50 and 2 loaves of sourdough bread that cost $4.50 each. She also treats herself to a $2.00 almond croissant each visit. How much does Candice spend at the bakery over 4 weeks?

2 loaves of white bread are $3.

50 each so they cost 2 * 3.

50 = $7.

00.

2 loaves of sourdough bread are $4.

50 each so they cost 2 * 4.

50 = $9.

00.

The white bread comes to $7.

00, the sourdough is $9.

00 and she gets a baguette for $1.

50 and a croissant for $2.

00 so she spends 7 + 9 + 1 + 2 = $19.

50 per week.

If she buys this same order of $19.

50 every week for 4 weeks then she spends 19.

50 * 4 = $78.

00 over 4 weeks.

The final answer: 78
