The correct answer is C. 3.50S + 1.50P = 800 and P + S = 344.
To solve this problem, you need to set up two equations. The first equation represents the total revenue from selling pizza slices and sodas, which is $800. This can be represented as 3.50P + 1.50S = 800, where P is the number of pizza slices sold and S is the number of sodas sold.
The second equation represents the total number of pizza slices and sodas sold, which is 344. This can be represented as P + S = 344.
Therefore, the correct set of equations is 3.50S + 1.50P = 800 and P + S = 344, which corresponds to option C.
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)
A. 3.50P+ 1.50S= 800 and P+S=344
B. 3.50S+1.50P = 344 and P+S=800
C. 3.50S+1.50P = 800 and P+S=344
D. 3.50P+S=800 and P+1.50S = 344

Apologies for the confusion earlier. Let's re-evaluate the problem.
We are given that the concession stand made a total of $800 and sold a total of 344 pizza slices and sodas combined.
Let's use P to represent the number of pizza slices sold and S to represent the number of sodas sold.
From the first piece of information, we can set up the equation: 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 (since each pizza slice is sold for $3.50 and each soda is sold for $1.50, and the total revenue is $800).
From the second piece of information, we can set up the equation: P + S = 344 (since the total number of pizza slices and sodas sold is 344 pieces).
Thus, the correct equations to solve this problem are: 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344.
We are given that the concession stand made a total of $800 and sold a total of 344 pizza slices and sodas combined.

Thus, the correct equations to solve this problem are: 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 3.50P + 1.50S = 800 and P + S = 344.
