A store sells both cold and hot beverages. Cold beverages, c, cost $1.50, while hot beverages, h, cost $2.00. On Saturday, drink

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The number of hot beverages sold were 45 and the number of cold beverages sold were 180.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cold beverages sold be $c$

And the number of hot beverages sold be $h$

According to the question:

c=4 $\times$ h...

$$$ 1.5 $\times$ c + 2 $\times$ h = Sale of any day

Part1:

For Saturday.

The sale is of $$$ 360

then

$$$ 1.5 $\times$ c + $$$ 2 $\times$ h = $$$ 360

Part 2:

Following the method of substitution.

And plugging the values of c=4 $\times$ h...in equation where the sales of Saturday is given.

1.5 $\times$ c + 2 $\times$ h =360

1.5 $\times$ 4 $\times$ h + 2 $\times$ h =360

6 $\times$ h + 2 $\times$ h= 360

8 $\times$ h=360

Dividing both sides with 8.

h= $\frac{360}{8}$

h=45

Inserting h=45 in c=4 $\times$ h...

we have c=4 $\times$ 45 = 180

So the number of hot beverages sold were 45 and the number of cold beverages sold were 180.
