Question

You are a young entrepreneur who ventures into selling milk tea. On the soft opening day, you sold all 50 glasses of classic and flavored milk tea, and bought in P4700. You need to determine how many glasses of classic milk tea and how many glasses of flavored milk tea were sold on that day if a glass of classic milk tea costs P100 and a glass of flavored milk tea is P80.

Answer 1

Answer:

35 glasses of classic milk tea

15 glasses of flavored milk tea

Step-by-step explanation:

You sold 50 glasses of classic and flavored milk tea.

c + f = 50

You made 4700 when classic tea costs 100 and flavored tea costs 80.

100c + 80f = 4700

Use this system of equation to solve.  Use substitution.  Rearrange the first equation so that it is equal to c.  Then, plug the c-value into the second equation.

c + f = 50

c = 50 - f

100c + 80f = 4700

100(50 - f) + 80f = 4700

5000 - 100f + 80f = 4700

5000 - 20f = 4700

-20f = -300

f = 15

Plug the f-value into one of the equations and solve for c.

c + f = 50

c + 15 = 50

c = 35

35 glasses of classic milk tea and 15 glasses of flavored milk tea were sold.
