Question

PLEASE HELP ILL OFFER MONEY I DONT CARE PLEASSEEEEE Mark has $75 to spend on salmon at $5.00 per pound and/or chicken at $3.00 per

pound. If he buys s pounds of salmon and c pounds of chicken, the equation 5s + 30
= 75 must be satisfied. How much salmon did Mark buy if he bought 5 pounds of
chicken?
a) 12 lb
Ob) 16 lb
C) 17 lb
d) 19 lb

Answer 1

a) 12 lb

Explanation:

First we find the lb for the chicken

5 * $3 = $15

Then we subtract it from the total amount of money Mark has

75$ - $15 = $60

Mark has 60$ remaining to spend on salmon

60 divided by 5 = 12

So he can buy 12 lb of salmon
