The math club sold slices of pizza peas at a profit of three dollars and cans of soda S at two dollars each to raise money for a trip. They sold 200 items and made a profit of $550. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation.
Equation to represent the total number of Adam sold
Equation to represent the total profit
Let x be the number of slices of pizza sold and y be the number of cans of soda sold.
1. Total number of items sold:
x + y = 200
2. Total profit generated:
3x + 2y = 550
