Question

The math club sold slices of pizza at a profit of $3 each in Kansas soda s at $2 each to raise money for a trip they sold 200 items and made a profit of $550 right the pair of linear equations that model the situation

Answer 1

Let x be the number of slices of pizza sold and y be the number of sodas sold.

Since the math club sold 200 items, we know that x + y = 200.

The profit from selling slices of pizza can be represented as 3x and the profit from selling sodas can be represented as 2y.

Given that the total profit was $550, we have the equation 3x + 2y = 550.

Therefore, the pair of linear equations that model the situation are:
x + y = 200
3x + 2y = 550
