The street vendor made a total of $933 after selling a total of 747 sandwiches and soft drinks.

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5x+0.75y=933

x+y=747

Step-by-step explanation:

x= number of cheese sandwiches

y= number of soft drinks

first equation: 2.5x+0.75y=933

**this is representing the cost of the drinks and sandwiches

second equation: x+y=747

**because x and y are the NUMBER of soft drinks and sandwiches, they both have to toal up to 747.
