    Actually, a loaf of bread costs 1.5. Barbara was wrong but only by 10 pence

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1 box of eggs = 1.2

    3 boxes of eggs = 3*1.2=3.6

    1 jar of mayonnaise = 1.8

    2 loves of bread=2x

    Total price of her purchases = 10-1.6=8.4

    Setting up the equation:

    3.6+1.8+2x=8.4

    Solving for x

    2x=8.4-3.6-1.8

    2x=3

    x=3/2=1.5
