Let the cost of the soft drink = C then the price of the sandwich was 3.5 times as much = 3.5C

And

C + 3.5C = Total Cost

C + 3.5C = 9

4.5C = 9 divide both sides by 4.5

C = 9/4.5 = $2.00 for the soft drink

And 3.5C = 3.5(2.00) = $7.00 cost of the sandwich

The sandwich is $7. the drink is $2. 3.5x+x is 4.5x (x is how much the soft drink costs). 9/4.5 is 2. 2x3.5 is 7.
