Answer:

  B.  $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s, m, l represent the prices of small, medium, and large lemonades, respectively. Three equations can be written based on the given revenue:

  • 12s +11m +6l = 87
  • 10s +6m +1l = 43
  • 0s +3m +9l = 54

We can use the last equation to write an expression for l:

  9l = 54 -3m . . . subtract 3m

  l = 6 -m/3 . . . . . divide by 9

Substituting this into the first two equations gives ...

  12s +11m +6(6 -m/3) = 87 . . . . . sub for l in first equation

  12s +9m = 51 . . . . subtract 36, collect terms

Dividing by 3 gives

  4s +3m = 17

__

  10s +6m +(6 -m/3) = 43

  10s + (5 1/3)m = 36 . . . . subtract 6, collect terms

  30s +16m = 108 . . . . . . multiply by 3

Dividing by 2 gives

  15s + 8m = 54

__

We can multiply the first of these by 15 and the second by -4, then add the results to eliminate the s variable.

  15(4s +3m) -4(15s +8m) = 15(17) -4(54)

  60s +45m -60s -32m = 255 -216 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  13m = 39 . . . . . collect terms

  m = 3 . . . . . . . . divide by 13

The price of a medium glass of lemonade is $3.
