Question

A deli offers 2 platters of sandwiches. Platter A has 2 roast beef and 3 turkey sandwiches. Platter B has 3 roast beef and 2 turkey sandwiches. What are two equations to repress situation and what is the cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 x+3 y and 3 x+ 2 y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the number of roast beef and y represents the number of turkey sandwiches.

Let r and t represent cost of the roast beef and sandwich.

Platter A:

Platter A has 2 roast beef and 3 turkey sandwiches. So, equation is 2 x+3 y.

Total cost of the platter = 2 r x+3 t y

Platter B:

Platter B has 3 roast beef and 2 turkey sandwiches. So, equation is 3 x+2 y.

Total cost of the platter = 3 r x+2 t y

So, the two equations are 2 x+3 y and 3 x+ 2 y.
