Question

The math team sold 42 hamburger meals and 15 rib meals at the pep rally for a total of $243. At the game that night, they sold 36 hamburger meals and 30 rib meals for a total of $294. What is the cost of 1 rib meal?a. $1 b. $3 c. $4d. $5

Answer 1

Answer: d. $5

Explanation:
each hamburger meal is 4 dollars.
4 • 42 = 168
243 - 168 = 75
75/15 = 5

4 • 36 = 144
294 - 144 = 150
150/30 = 5

each rib meal is $5
