Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If 9 members paid on the first day, this means they did not pay on the third day
The remaining people (everyone but the 9) paid on the third day
Therefore we must subtract to find out how many members paid on the third day
22 - 9 = 13
Each of the 13 members paid $12.80 which means we must multiply
13 × 12.80 = 166.40
In total, the grocery store collected $166.40 on the third day of the month
Hello!
Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.
2x + y = 482
× + 2y = 370
2x + 47 = 740
-3y = -258
y = 86 cents
2x + 86 = 482
2x = 396
x = 198
A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86
I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!
