Question

Indigo and her children went into a restaurant and she bought $42 worth of hamburgers and drinks. Each hamburger costs $5.50 and each drink costs $2.25. She bought a total of 10 hamburgers and drinks altogether. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of hamburgers and the number of drinks that Indigo bought. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

2.5

Step-by-step explanation: you have lets say that hmm..... 5.50x10=$55.00and that's the burgers now its time for the drinks. that's $22.05 so now we just got to add them to gather the find the answer 55+22.05 is77.05 so she spent that but you have to divid so dont use this 22.05/55.00=thats 2.5 so

Answer 2

To determine the number of hamburgers and drinks that Indigo bought, we can use a system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of hamburgers and drinks that Indigo bought, we can use the following system of equations:

x: number of hamburgers

y: number of drinks

The total cost equation is:
5.50x + 2.25y = 42

The total number of hamburgers and drinks equation is:
x + y = 10

Now you can solve this system of equations to find the values of x and y.
