Question

You are selling concessions at a local swim meet. Hot dogs are being sold for $1.00 and soda is being sold for $0.50. At the end of the day you made $150. Let x represent the number of hotdogs sold and y represent the number of sodas sold. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of hotdogs and sodas sold at the swim team.
A) Standard Form:
B) Slope-Intercept Form:
C) If you sold 40 hot dogs how many sodas did you sell?
D) Using the Standard Form, identify the x-intercept of the graph and explain how the x-intercept relates to the number of hot dogs and sodas sold.
E) Using Standard Form, identify the y-intercept of the graph and explain how the y-intercept relates to the number of hot dogs and sodas sold.

Answer 1

Answer:

use this equation: 150=1x+0.5y

Step-by-step explanation:

a) standard form equation above

b) 150=1x+0.5y

subtract 1x from both sides

then divide all by 0.5 to get slope intercept form

c) plug it in: 150=1(40)+0.5y and solve to get 220

d) take the y intercept from answer b. and the y intercept shows how many you have to sell of each to reach you $150(I think, this part might be wrong...idk)
