X= sandwiches
y= bottles of water

QUANTITY EQUATION
x+y= 200

COST EQUATION
$3x + $0.75y= $318.75

STEP 1
solve for one variable in quantity equation and substitute in cost equation

x+y= 200
subtract y from both sides
x= 200-y

STEP 2
substitute 200-y in for x

$3x + $0.75y= $318.75
3(200-y) + 0.75y= 318.75
600 - 3y + 0.75y= 318.75
combine like terms
600 - 2.25y= 318.75
-2.25y= -281.25
divide both sides by -2.25
y= 125 number of water bottles

STEP 3
substitute y=125 in either equation

x+y= 200
x + 125= 200
x= 75 sandwiches

ANSWER: There were 75 sandwiches and 125 bottles of water.

Hope this helps! :)

To find the mean you add all the #'s and divide by how many there are. 4+5+6+7 +8= 30 /5 is 6. Tara is right.

Find the meaure of the central angle the sector area is 169.56 and the radius is 9
BaLLatris [955]
Since the area of a circle is πr^{2}, and our radius is 9 we know the total area to be 254.469, and the ratio of sector area to total area is 169.56/254.469 = .6663. There are 360 degrees in a circle, so: c = 360(.6663) ≈ 240°

240 degrees
