Let the price of 1 litre of milk be  x$

Let the price of 1 loaf of bread be y$

According to the problem

333x + 555y =11

444x+444y=10

On subtracting the two,

We get

(333x+555y=11) * 444

(444x+444y= 10) * 333

(-)     (-)         (-)

147852x + 246420y =4884

147852x + 147852y = 3330

(-)            (-)                  (-)

------------------------------                   

 98568y = 1554     

           y = 1554/98568     

              = 0.0157$          

                 =0.02$    

Price of 1 loaf of bread= 2 cents    

On putting the value of y 

333x + 555*0.0157 = 11333x  + 8.7135 = 11333x = 2.2865x = 2.2865/333x = 0.00068$   = 0.01$

Price of 1 litre of milk = 1 cent
