Question

The prices for a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk for two supermarkets are shown below. Sue needs to buy bread and milk for her church picnic. At Supermarket A, she would pay $137.24. At Supermarket B, she would pay $140.04. Which of the following system of equations represents this situation?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 3.19b + 4.59m = 137.24

3.49b + 4.39m = $140.04

Step-by-step explanation:

A B

Bread $3.19 $3.49

Milk $4.59 $4.39

Sue paid $137.24 in supermarket A

Sue paid $140.04 in supermarket B

Let

Price of bread A=$3.19

Price of bread B=$3.49

Price of milk A=$4.59

Price of milk B=$4.39

Quantity of Bread=b

Quantity of Milk=m

Pb=price of bread

Pm=price of milk

Qb=Quantity of bread

Qm=Quantity of milk

For each supermarket

Supermarket A Equation

PbQb + PmQm =$137.24

3.19b+ 4.59m = 137.24

Supermarket B Equation

PbQb + PmQm=$140.04

3.49b + 4.39m = $140.04

Combining both equations

3.19b + 4.59m = 137.24

3.49b + 4.39m = $140.04
