Question

For a Future Teachers of America fundraiser, Denzell sold food as shown in the table. He sold 11 more subs than pizzas and earned a total of $233. Write and solve a system of equations to represent this situation. Then describe what the solution means.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Item Selling Price

Pizza $5.00

Sub $3.00

---------------

Quantity Equation : s = p + 11

Value Equation : 3s+5p = 233

---------------------------

Substitute for "s" and solve for "p"

3(p+11) + 5p = 233

8p + 33 = 233

8p = 200

p = 25 (# of pizzas)

----

s = p+11 = 36 (# of subs)
