A sandwich shop sells a foot-long grinder for $8 and a calzone for $6. Which equation shows the relationship between the amount of each type of product sold and the total sales, in dollars?
A. 14(x + y) = z; x represents calzones sold; y represents grinders sold; z represents total sales
B. 6x + 8y = z; x represents calzones sold; y represents grinders sold; z represents total sales
C. 14(x + y) = z; x represents grinders sold; y represents calzones sold; z represents total sales
D. 6x + 8y = z; x represents grinders sold; y represents calzones sold; z represents total sales
I think it is B. If wrong, what could it be then.
you are right
yay, thanks Sir!
You are correct! The correct equation that shows the relationship between the amount of each type of product sold and the total sales is B.
In this equation, the variable x represents the number of calzones sold, the variable y represents the number of grinders sold, and the variable z represents the total sales.
By multiplying the price of a calzone ($6) by the number of calzones sold (x), and multiplying the price of a grinder ($8) by the number of grinders sold (y), the equation becomes:
6x + 8y = z
So, B is the correct answer. Well done!
You are correct, the equation that shows the relationship between the amount of each type of product sold and the total sales, in dollars, is B.
In this equation, the variable x represents the number of calzones sold, y represents the number of grinders sold, and z represents the total sales.
The equation can be written as 6x + 8y = z, which means that the total sales (z) is equal to the sum of the sales from the number of calzones sold (6x) and the sales from the number of grinders sold (8y).
