So, let's say the soft drink equals y and the sandwich equals x.
x + y = 9.9
The sandwich costs 3.5 times as much as the soft drink
x = 3.5y
Therefore, we can replace x with 3.5y since they're the same thing
3.5y + y = 9.9 <-- That's the equation :)

Answer:
$2
Step-by-step explanation:
To use a percent you must change it to a decimal.
8% is .08
To find 8% of 25, we use multiplication.
.08 × 25
= 2
In case you cannot use a calculator or you want to be very quick about this, or just do a simple check... you can actually reverse the number (money, amount, etc) and the percent.
25% of 8 is not bad for doing mental math. 25% is a quarter, or 1/4 of 8 which again is 2.
