Question

the local volleyball team hosts a concession stand to raise money. They can spend $120 to purchase popcorn, candy, and drinks. they purchase 95 bags of popcorn at $0.75 each and 35 bags of candy at $1.20 each. how much money does the volleyball team have left to spend on drinks?

Answer 1

To solve this question, I did an equation:
0.75x + 1.20y = 120
0.75(95) + 1.20(35) = 120
Then multiply:
71.25 + 42 = 120
Now to check:
71.25 + 42 = 113.25
Answer: 120 - 113.25 = $6.75 Hope this helps
