Answer 1

`3P+2W=62.50...(1)`

`4P+W=68.75...(2)`

Explanation:

Let P represent number of pizzas and W represent number of wings.

We have been given that Anthony went to carbone's pizzeria and bought 3 pizzas and 2 ordered of wings for $62.50.

Cost of 3 pizzas would be
`3P`.

Cost of 2 wings would be
`2W`.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

`3P+2W=62.50...(1)`

We are also told that Jillian went the same night purchasing 4 pizzas and 1 order of wings for $68.75. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`4P+W=68.75...(2)`

Therefore, our required system of equation would be:

`3P+2W=62.50...(1)`

`4P+W=68.75...(2)`
