Question

At a fall festival, a student council sold two types of drinks; hot chocolate and apple cider. The student council earned $1.25 for every cup of hot chocolate it sold and $0.75 for every cup of apple cider it sold. There were 375 cups of drinks sold and the total amount of money earned was $393.75. The following system of equations can be used to represent the situation: x + y =375 and 1.25x + 0.75y = 393.75. How much money did the council earn from selling hot chocolate?

Answer 1

multiply 187.5 and 1.25 and it comes out to 234.375 in hot chocolate. So your answer will be 234.375 or 234.3 for short. you can also use 234 to not use a decimal, if your homework says not to use decimals. Have a nice day!
