To find the number of side dishes Jodi got, we need to solve the equation:
y = 11 + 1.25x
Given that Jodi paid $18.50 for her meal, we can substitute y with 18.50:
18.50 = 11 + 1.25x
Next, we subtract 11 from both sides to isolate 1.25x:
18.50 - 11 = 1.25x
7.50 = 1.25x
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 1.25:
x = 7.50 / 1.25
x = 6
So, Jodi got 6 side dishes.
The following equation represents the cost of buying a meal with one meat and options for the number of side dishes, x .
y = 11 + 1.25x
If Jodi paid $18.50 for her meal, how many side dishes did she get?
