You are running a concession stand at a baseball game.
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 = the number of pizza slices sold and S = the number of sodas sold?

a 3.50S + 1.50P = 344 and P + S = 800
b 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344
c 3.50P + S = 800 and P + 1.50S = 344
d 3.50S + 1.50P = 800 and P + S = 344
b 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344
These equations represent the total sales and total number of pizza slices and sodas sold.
are you sure?
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct that.
The correct equations used to solve this problem are:
a) 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 (total sales equation)
b) P + S = 344 (total number of pizza slices and sodas sold equation)
Thank you for pointing that out.
