Question

Rachel can buy licorice sticks for $0.75 and cherry candies for $0.50 and has a budget of $25 if her expenses are represented by the equation 0.75x+0.05y=25 where x is the number of licorice sticks and y is the number of cherry candies, how many cherry candies can she

But if she wishes to spend the entire $25 on cherry candies

Answer 1

You can buy 50 of the cherry candies with all of the 25$ because you do 25 divided by 0.50 and get 50 and then if you would like to check that do 50 x 0.50 and you will still get 25$
