Question

Lee spent $36 to purchase a combination of drinks, sandwiches, and chips for himself and his friends. A drink costs $2, a sandwich costs $4, and chips cost $0.50. Identify the linear equation that represents this situation.

Answer 1

2x+4y+0.50z=36 represents the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Drinks = x

Sandwich = y

And,

Chips = z

Total amount on these items = $36

According to the statement;

$x(cost\ of\ one\ drink)+y(cost\ of\ one\ sandwich)+z(cost\ of\ one\ chips)=\ Total\ amount\ spent\\2x+4y+0.50z=36$

2x+4y+0.50z=36 represents the situation.

Answer 2

Answer:

2x + 4y + 0.5z = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = drinks, y = sandwiches, and z = chips.

cost of drinks plus cost of sandwiches plus cost of chips  equals  total cost

       2x            +              4y            +        0.5z           =        36
