Question

Members of the band sold juice and popcorn at a college football game to raise money for an

upcoming trip. Each juice bottle sold costs $2.50, and each container of popcorn sold costs
$1.25.

a. write an equation to represent how much money was made
b. be sure to specify what the variables represent.

Answer 1

2.50x+1.25y=z

Explanation:

Let the number of juice bottles = x

And the number of containers of popcorns=y

And the total number of juice bottles and containers of popcorns=z

Total number of juice bottles=x times $2.50

Total number of containers of popcorn= y times $ 1.25

equation; 2.50x+1.25y=z
