Answer 1

The equation for determine the cost of sandwiches one afternoon is y=5.95*x 
x= number of sandwiches
5.95 = cost one sandwiches

The equation for determine the number of sandwiches sold one afternoon is x=y/5.95

We have that

y=71.40
x=(71.40/5.95)   x=12 the response is 12 sandwiches sold one afternoon
