4.5(18-y)+7.75y=113.5
My justification fir wirting the equation like this is beacuse the total equals how many people ate over all minus how many people ate the soup. (X=18-y) y=soup x=sandwiches
81-4.5y+7.75y=113.5
We distributed
Now its time to combine like terms.
3.25y+81=113.5
I only subtracted beacuse the 4.5 was negative
Subtract 81 from both sides
3.25y=32.5
Divide by 3.25 on both sides
Y=10
Now that we have that we insert it back into the equation
x=18-(10)
So x=8
Basically, 8 sandwiches were ordered :D

So if the sandwiches cost $7.75 each and the total was $113.50 that would mean that there were 14 sandwiches bought. So 14 times 7.75 is 108.50.

Which answers I should have to answer

Given:

The table of point scored in 5 games.

After game 6, the mean number of points scored per game is 9.

To find:

The points scored by Maya in game 6.

Solution:

Let x be the points scored by Maya in game 6. Then sum of scores in all 6 games is:

Sum=8+12+10+6+14+x

Sum=50+x

We know that, the formula for mean is:

\text{Mean}=\dfrac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observations}}

So, the mean number of points scored per game is:

\text{Mean}=\dfrac{50+x}{6}

It is given that the mean number of points scored per game is 9.

\dfrac{50+x}{6}=9

50+x=9\times 6

x=54-50

x=4

Therefore, the correct option is A.
