Purchasing a pita, a bag of baked potato chips and a bottled water costs $6.00. For $9.50 you can buy two pitas, a bag of baked potato chips and a bottled water. A pita and a bottled water can be purchased for $4.70. Blake purchases three pitas, two bags of baked potato chips and a bottled water. How much will lunch cost Blake?  All solutions must be submitted by noon time on Friday, January 9.
