Question

A store sells both cold and hot beverages. Cold beverages, c, cost $1.50, while hot beverages, h, cost $2.00. On Saturday, drink receipts totaled $360, and 4 times as many cold beverages were sold as hot beverages.
Which system of linear equations represents the beverage sales on Saturday?

Answer 1

Hello!

Your answer should be..

c=4h     ( as there are 4 hours )

1.5c+2h=360

c is 1.50 and h is 2.00 so you must add them to reach 360

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

c = 4 times h

Linear equation: 1.5c + 2h = 360
