Let x be the number of slices of pizza sold and y be the number of cans of soda sold.
The first equation represents the total number of items sold:
x + y = 200
The second equation represents the total profit made:
3x + 2y = 550
Therefore, the pair of linear equations that model this situation is:
x + y = 200
3x + 2y = 550
The math club sold slices of pizza ,p, at a profit of $3 each 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
Equations to represent the total number of items sold =200
Equation to represent the total profit =550
