Question

The soccer team is planning to sell health bars for a fundraiser. The prices of purchasing health bars from two different companies are represented by the system of equations shown, where x is the number of bars purchased and y is the total cost in dollars.

Company A: y=0.75x
Company B: y=10+0.50x

How many bars would the team need to purchase from each company in order for the total cost to be equal?

6
8
30
40

30

Explanation:

Answer 2

So to answer this all you need to do is set the equations equal to each other. You set 0.75x=10+0.50x, then you can plug in any of the values. So either 6,8,30, or 40. And that’ll give you your answer, to help u out the answer is 40. They both end up equaling 30.
