At the fall festival, a booth is selling $5 meals and $10 meals. They sell 1000 meals in all and collect $3500. Which system of
Tamiku [17]

The system of equation that can be used to represent the number of meals sold is

x + y = 1000

5x + 10y = 3,500

Given:

Number of $5 meals sold = x

Number of $10 meals sold = y

Total number of meals = 1000

Total amount of meals = $3,500

The equations:

Quantity

x + y = 1000

Price

5x + 10y = 3,500

Therefore, the system of equation that can be used to represent the number of meals sold is

x + y = 1000

x + y = 10005x + 10y = 3,500
