Kit bought a soft drink and a sandwich for $9.00. What was the price of each if the sandwich cost 3.5 times as much as the soft drink?
3.5 x2 =$7.00 sandwich
3.5 /7.00=2.50 drink
check this for me
Let y=soft drink
y + 3.5y=9
4.5 y = 9
y= 2 , 2 times 3.5= 7
7 + 2 does in fact equal 9
No
soft drink ---- x
sandwich ---- 3.5x
x + 3.5x = 9
4.5x = 9
x = 2
So the soft drink costs $2.00 and
the sandwich costs 3.5(2) or $7.00
Your total would be $9.50, not $9.00, also 3.5/7 ≠ 2.50
To check if the solution is correct, we can add the price of the soft drink and sandwich together and see if it equals $9.00.
The price of the soft drink is $2.50.
The price of the sandwich is $7.00.
Adding these together, we have $2.50 + $7.00 = $9.50.
Since $9.50 is not equal to $9.00, the solution is incorrect. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
To check if the calculation is correct, we can add the price of the soft drink and the sandwich. If it equals $9.00, then the values are correct.
$7.00 (sandwich) + $2.50 (soft drink) = $9.50
Since the total is $9.50 instead of $9.00, there might be an error in the calculation. Let's recheck the calculation:
3.5 x 2.50 = $8.75 (rounded)
So, the price of the sandwich is $8.75 and the price of the soft drink is $2.50.
