ANSWER

1.99x + 2.49y = 30

Step-by-step explanation

A bottle of soda costs $1.99 each and a jug of juice costs $2.49.

Sydney has $30.

Let x be the number of bottles of soda she can get.

Let y be the number of jugs of juice that she can buy.

This means that the cost of x bottles of soda is:

1.99 * x = $1.99x

This also means that the cost of y jugs of juice is:

2.49 * y = $2.49y

The total cost must be equal to $30, so this means that the total cost of bottles of soda and jugs of juice she can purchase is:

1.99x + 2.49y = 30

That is the equation that represents it.
