Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the coupon to the loaf of bread first. $1.55 off a loaf of bread means subtracting this amount from the original price of bread.

• $4.63 - $1.55 = $3.08

If the loaf is cut into 14 slices, we should divide the loaf of bread's new price by 14.

• $3.08 / 14 = $0.22

The price per slice if Ellen uses her coupon is $0.22 per slice.
