Sagot :

The system of equation that can be used to represent the situation is as follows:

  • x + y = 16
  • 2x + 3.5y = 47

The number of water bottle bought = 6

The number of pretzel bought = 10

Let

x = number of water bottle bought

y = number of pretzel bought

Hanson buys 16 items. Therefore,

  • x + y = 16

Hanson spends a total of $47. Therefore,

  • 2x + 3.5y = 47

Combined System of equation:

  • x + y = 16
  • 2x + 3.5y = 47

Therefore, let multiply equation(i) by 2

2x + 2y = 32

2x + 3.5y = 47

1.5y = 15

y = 15 / 1.5

y = 10

x + 10 = 16

x = 6
