Answer 1

1.48x + 1.64y = 231.64

Answer 2

Answer: Our required equation in standard form is
`1.48x+1.64y=\$231.64`

Explanation:

Let the number of beverages be 'x'.

Let the number of candy be 'y'.

Cost of beverages = $1.48

Cost of home games = $1.64

Total cost = $231.64

According to question, we get that

`1.48x+1.64y=\$231.64`

Hence, our required equation in standard form is
`1.48x+1.64y=\$231.64`
