Question

A grocery store is offering a sale on bread and soup. Kacey buys four cans of soup and three loaves of bread for $12.35. Fernando buys eight cans of soup and one loaf of bread for $13.05. a. Write equations for both Kacey's and Fernando's purchases.

Answer 1

`4x+3y=12.35-------------1\\\\x+8y= 13..05-------------2`

Explanation:

Given data

let bread be x

and soup be y

Kacey buys four cans of soup and three loaves of bread for $12.35

4x+3y=12.35-------------1

Fernando buys eight cans of soup and one loaf of bread for $13.05

x+8y= 13..05-------------2

Hence the equation for both of their purchase is
`4x+3y=12.35-------------1\\\\x+8y= 13..05-------------2`
