Question

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? (1 point)Responses.50S + 1.50P = 344 and P + S = 8003.50S + 1.50P = 344 and P + S = 8003.50S + 1.50P = 800 and P + S = 3443.50S + 1.50P = 800 and P + S = 3443.50P + S = 800 and P + 1.50S = 3443.50P + S = 800 and P + 1.50S = 3443.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 3443.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we need to set up two equations based on the information given:

1. The total revenue equation: \(3.50P + 1.50S = 800\)
2. The total items sold equation: \(P + S = 344\)

Therefore, the correct equations are:

• \(3.50P + 1.50S = 800\)
• \(P + S = 344\)

Among the provided responses, the correct one is: 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344.
