Answer:

the price of each soda is $1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are two unknowns; the price of each soda  (let's assign the letter "s" to it), and the price of the basket of fries 9let's assign the letter "b" to it)

We can then write two equations using the information on the total price for each order:

(a)    4 s + 4 b = 16

(b)   4 s + 3 b = 13.75

we can now subtract term by term equation (b) from equation (a), and obtain:

4 s - 4 s + 4 b - 3 b =  16 - 13.75

0 + b = 2.25

So now that we know the price of each basket of fries ($ 2.25) , we can use that info in either equation and solve for "s". Let's use equation (a) for example:

4 s + 4 (2.25) = 16

4 s + 9 = 16

4 s = 16 - 9

4 s = 7

s = 7/4

s = 1.75

So, the price of each soda is $1.75

the ratio of reds to greens was 5 to 16 and six times the number of reds exceeded the number of greens by 112. how many were red
Masja [62]
Call red as X then X/Green =5/16 => green = 16X/5.
six times the number of reds exceeded the number of green by 112 => 6X-16X/5=112 => 14X/5=112 => X= 40 => reds:40 => green = 128
