Question

At a student bake sale, cakes sold for $4 each and pies sold for $5 each. The students sold a total of 75 cakes and pies, and made $340. Which system of equations would determine the number of each ticket sold?

Answer 1

Answer: The system of equations to determine the number of each item sold would be:

4x + 5y = 340 (where x is the number of cakes and y is the number of pies)

and

x + y = 75 (where x and y is number of cakes and pies)

This system of equations can be solved using methods such as substitution or elimination.
