The correct equations to use are:
3.50P + 1.50S = 800 (Total revenue equation)
P + S = 344 (Total quantity equation)
You are selling pizza slices and sodas.
Each pizza slice sells for $3.50 and each soda sells for $1.50.
At the end of the night, you made a total of $800.
You sold a total of 344 pizza slices and sodas combined.
You must report the number of pizza slices sold and the number of sodas sold.
What equations did you use to solve this, where P = tbo number of pizza slices sold and 5 = the number of sodas sold?
(1 point)
3.50S + 1.50P = 800 and P + S = 344
3.50S + 1.50P = 344 and P+S=800
350P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344
3.50P + S = 800 and p + 1.50S = 344
3.50P + 1.50S = 800 (Total revenue equation)
P + S = 344 (Total quantity equation)
3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344
So the correct answer is:
3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344
Let's use P to represent the number of pizza slices sold and S to represent the number of sodas sold.
Since each pizza slice sells for $3.50 and each soda sells for $1.50, the equation for the total revenue from pizza slices and sodas sold is 3.50P + 1.50S = 800.
We also know that the total number of pizza slices and sodas sold is 344, so the equation for the total quantity sold is P + S = 344.
Therefore, the correct pair of equations to solve this problem is 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344
