Question

Alicia purchased h half gallons of ice cream for 3.50 each p packages of ice cream cones for 2.50 each she purchased 14 items and spent 43$ which system of equations could be used to determine how many of each item Alicia purchased

Answer 1

H + P = 14

3.50H + 2.50P = 43

Explanation:

Given that

H denotes half gallons of ice cream

P denotes packages of ice cream cones

Now

H + P = 14

And,

3.50H + 2.50P = 43

So, the systems of equations would be

H + P = 14

3.50H + 2.50P = 43
