If three sandwiches and two bags of chips cost
$22.00, and two sandwiches and one bag of chips
cost $14.25, how much does a bag of chips cost?

Sagot :

Answer:

Chips: 1.25 and Sandwiches: 6.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3s+2c=22

2s+c=14.25

The cost of bag and chips should be 1.25 and 6.5.

  • The calculation is as follows:

3s+2c=22

2s+c=14.25

Here we need to multiply by 2 in equation 2

3s + 2c = 22

2s + 2c = 28.25

s = 6.5

Now

c should be

2(6.5) + c = 14.25

13 +  c = 14.25

c = 1.25
