Question

Write a system of equation.

Luis spent $9.50 on snacks at the basketball game. Candy costs $1.25 per package and chips cost $0.50. Luis bought 10 snacks.

Answer 1

Luis spent $9.50, in which:

Candy (y) = $1.25

Chips (x) = $0.50

$9.50 = 1.25y + 0.50x

Luis bought 10 snacks in all

10 = x + y

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're answer:

x + y = 10

1.25y + 0.50x = 9.50
