Question

Steve and Marcia bought soda, chips, and gum. • They bought twice as many chips as pieces of gum. • They bought 3 fewer sodas than chips. • Let P represent the total items purchased, s represent soda, c represent chips, and g

Answer 1

ok so S=soda C=chips and G=gum

From the information,

s+3=c

(1/2)c=g

from this P=s+c+g

P=s+(s+3)+((s+3)/2)

P=5/2s+9/2
