Answer 1

Answer:

6 drinks, 10 pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Use a system of equations to solve

x will be drinks and y will be pretzels

x + y = 16

4x + 4.75y = 71.50

Multiply x + y = 16 by 4

4x + 4y = 64

Now subtract both equations

4x + 4.75 = 71.50

Minus

4x + 4y = 64

This gives you --> 0x + 0.75y = 7.5

Divide both sides by 0.75

y = 10

So x = 6

Now check your work: 4(6) + 10(4.75) = 71.50

24 + 47.5 = 71.5

71.5 = 71.5 TRUE
