Question

You buy a total of 50 turkey burgers and veggie burgers for $90. You pay $2 per turkey burger and $1.50 per veggie burger. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the number turkey burgers and veggie burgers you buy.

Answer 1

T + V = 50

2T + (3/2) * V = 90

2T + 1.5V = 90

T = 50 * 1.5 - 90 * 1 / 1 * 1.5 - 2*1 = 30

V = 1 * 90 - 2 * 50 / 1 * 1.5 - 2 * 1 = 20

Explanation:

T = 30

V = 20
