At the football game, 3 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks cost $24, and 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks cost $22. Which two equations can be used to determine the price of a hamburger and the price of a soft drink?

Let x represent the cost of a hamburger and y represent the cost of a soft drink.

Answer 1

Answer: it would be A

Explanation:

x the cost in dollars of a hamburger and y the cost in dollars of a soft drink.

The cost of 4 hamburguers can be represented with this expression:

4x

And the cost of 6 soft drinks can be represented with this expression:

6y

The total cost for 4 hamburgers and 6 soft drinks is $34, you can write the following equation

3x+6y=24

The following expression represents the the cost of 3 soft drinks:

3y

According to the information given in the exercise, the total cost for 4 hamburgers and 3 soft drinks is $25. Then, the equation that represents this is:

4x+3y=22
