Use the four-step strategy to solve each problem. Use $x, y,$ and $z$ to represent unknown quantities. Then translate from the verbal conditions of the problem to a system of three equations in three variables. On a recent trip to the convenience store, you picked up 2 gallons of milk, 5 bottles of water, and 6 snack-size bags of chips. Your total bill (before tax) was $\$ 19.00 .$ If a bottle of water costs twice as much as a bag of chips, and a gallon of milk costs $\$ 2.00$ more than a bottle of water, how much does each item cost?
