Answer:
198 cents or 1.98 dollars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the current price of the bread in cents,
So, the price of 7 bread = 7x cents,
If the current price of bread dropped by 44 cents,
New price of each bread = x - 44
So, the price of 9 bread = 9(x - 44)
According to the question,
7x = 9(x - 44)
7x = 9x - 396
7x - 9x = -396
-2x = -396
⇒ x = 198
Hence, the current cost of bread is 198 cents or 1.98 dollars.
