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?

Sagot :

Answer:

40 bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Where x = Number of bars purchased by each team

We solve this question by equating both Equations from Company A to Company B

Company A = Company B

0.75x = 10 + 0.50x

Collect like terms

0.75x - 0.50x = 10

0.25x = 10

x = 10/0.25

x = 40 bars

Hence, each team need to purchase 40 bars from each company
