The Math Club sold slices of pizza, p , at a profit of $3 each and cans of soda, s , at $2 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.(1 point)

Question

Equation to represent the total number of items sold:
= 200
Equation to represent the total profit:
= 550

Answer 1

Let's assume x is the number of slices of pizza sold and y is the number of cans of soda sold.

1) Equation to represent the total number of items sold:
x + y = 200

2) Equation to represent the total profit:
3x + 2y = 550
