Question

A vendor sold a total of 413 large fries and souvenir sodas in one day. The total sales were $1068. Large fries cost $1.20 and souvenir sodas cost $3. Which system of linear equations can be used to find L, the number of large fries sold, and S, the number of souvenir sodas sold?

Answer 1

`L+S=413----------------1\\\\1.2L+3S=1068---------2`

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

A vendor sold a total of 413 fries

Large fries cost $1.20 and souvenir sodas cost $3

let L be the number of large fries sold and S be the number of souvenir sodas

so

L+S=413

and

1.2L+3S=1068

Therefore the system of equation is

`L+S=413----------------1\\\\1.2L+3S=1068---------2`
