The system of equations which is used to find out the cost of each item (i.e cotton candy and funnel cake) bought by two families McCartney and Lennon Family is
3c + 2f = $24
2c + 4f = $32
We have given that
McCartney family bought
total number of bags of cotton = 3
total number of funnel cakes = 2
total cost of 3 bags and 2 funnel cakes is $24.
Lennon Family bought
total number of bags = 2
total number of funnel cake = 4
total cost of 2 bags and 4 funnel= $32
we have to find out the system of equations which used to find the cost of each item.
let the cost of each funnel cake be f and cotten candy be c .
then, using the above data we get
3c + 2f = $24 ---(1)
2c + 4f = $32 --(2)
Hence, equation (1) and (2) make a system of linear equations which is used to determine the cost of each item.
