Bread is provided free of charge by a concerned neighbor. Ebrima is a picky eater and makes his sandwiches with exactly 1 ounce of jelly and 2 ounces of peanut butter. He is set in his ways and will never change these proportions.
How much peanut butter and jelly will Ebrima buy with his $3 allowance in a week?
