Question

The soccer team is planning to sell health bars for a fundraiser. The prices of purchasing health bars from two different companies are represented by the system of equations shown, where x is the number of bars purchased and y is the total cost in dollars. Company A: y = 0.75x. Company B: y = 10 + 0.50x. How many bars would the team need to purchase from each company in order for the total cost to be equal?

Answer 1

Answer: 40 bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Let the equations given for the costs for Company A and Company B be equal such that,
                                            y (A) = y (B)
                                             0.75x = 10 + 0.50x
The value of x from the given equation is 40. Thus, each team should purchase 40 health bars.
