    Let’s denote the prices of the components as follows:

    Egg: ( E )

    Bacon: ( B )

    Sausage: ( S )

    Spam: ( P )

    We are given the following equations based on the prices of the combinations:

    ( E + B = 1.10 )

    ( E + S + B = 1.49 )

    ( E + P = 1.50 )

    ( E + P + B = 2.10 )

    ( E + P + S + B = 2.49 )

    First, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2:

    [ (E + S + B) - (E + B) = 1.49 - 1.10 ]

    [ S = 0.39 ]

    Next, subtract Equation 1 from Equation 4:

    [ (E + P + B) - (E + B) = 2.10 - 1.10 ]

    [ P = 1.00 ]

    Next, subtract Equation 3 from Equation 5:

    [ (E + P + S + B) - (E + P) = 2.49 - 1.50 ]

    [ S + B = 0.99 ]

    We already know from a previous calculation that ( S = 0.39 ), so substitute ( S ) in:

    [ 0.39 + B = 0.99 ]

    [ B = 0.60 ]

    Now we know ( B ) and can find ( E ) from Equation 1:

    [ E + 0.60 = 1.10 ]

    [ E = 0.50 ]

    We have found the prices:

    Egg (( E )) = 0.50

    Bacon (( B )) = 0.60

    Sausage (( S )) = 0.39

    Spam (( P )) = 1.00

    we should have the journalists harvest every single tuna in the ocean and sell it at a high cost to consumers. the money generated from this will go directly to the news industry. this way, we can enjoy delicious tuna while we read the news without any concern about tunas in the ocean anymore. the only catch (no pun intended) is the news related might be a little biased and some people might not like tuna. both don’t sound like a huge concern when you get high quality journalism.
