Answer 1

They sold 16 French fries.

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of large burgers that they sold on that day.

Let y represent the number of French fries that they sold on that day.

fast food sells large burgers for five dollars each and french fries for three dollars each that day and their total sales was $98.It means that

5x + 3y = 98 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

they sold six more french fries than burgers. It means that

y = x + 6

Substituting y = x+ 6 into equation 1, it becomes

5x + 3(x + 6) = 98

5x + 3x + 18 = 98

8x = 98 - 18 = 80

x = 80/8 = 10

y = x + 6 = 10 + 6

y = 16
