Mark bought refreshments. Sandwiches were 2.50 each and bottles of water were $1.25 each. He spent $356.25 on a total of 180 items.
a. Write a system of equations to model the situation.




b. Solve the system algebraically to find how many sandwiches and how many bottles of water Mark bought.

Respuesta :

first you have to write the equation. in the scenario, use standard form.
Ax+By=C
plug the numbers in. A=2.50, B=1.25, and C is the total, 356.25. the 180 doesn't come in quite yet.
your equation is 2.50x+1.25y=356.25. now, since they only bought 180 items, you can't go past that.

I am sorry, but I am about to leave for school, and therefore do not have enough time to answer the last of your question. I hope the part I could answer has helped you.
