let's define some units for Bradley's budget. Let's say the amount spent on groceries is represented by the variable "G" in dollars. To express the amount spent on cereal, we can use the expression "G/10" since Bradley spends one out of every ten dollars on cereal.

Now, if Bradley spent $110 on groceries, we can substitute G with 110 in the expression "G/10" to find out how much he spent on cereal.

To find the total grocery bill when Bradley bought $37 worth of cereal, we can multiply the amount spent on cereal by 10, since cereal represents one-tenth of the grocery bill.



If Bradley spent $110 on groceries, we can substitute G with 110 in the expression "G/10" to find out how much he spent on cereal. So, 110/10 = $11. Therefore, Bradley spent $11 on cereal.

Now, if Bradley bought $37 worth of cereal, we can multiply the amount spent on cereal by 10, since cereal represents one-tenth of the grocery bill. So, 37 x 10 = $370. Therefore, Bradley's total grocery bill was $370.
