Let the cost of one cup of hot tea be = y
Paul paid $ 25.50 for 3 cups of hot chocolate and 4 cups of tea.
Equation becomes = ...(1)
As given, the cost of each cup of tea was 2/3 the cost of each cup of hot chocolate.
.... (2)
Putting the value of y from (2) in (1)
=
=
=
x=4.5
=
y =3
Hence each cup of hot chocolate is $4.50
Each cup of tea is $3.
Hi there!
The Eqn. is :-
1.5 (x + 4) - 3 = 4.5 (x - 2)
1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9
Combining the like terms :-
1.5x - 4.5x = - 9 - 6 + 3
- 3x = - 15 + 3
- 3x = - 12
x =
x = 4
Hence, the required answer is → x = 4
~ Hope it helps!
