A sandwich store charges a delivery fee to bring lunch to an office.
Delivery cost - D
Meatball sandwich cost - M
One office pays $40.50 for 5 meatball sandwiches.
40.50 = 5M + D
Another office pays $66.50 for 9 meat ball sandwiches
66.50 = 9M + D
A. How much does each meatball sandwich add to the cost of delivery?
D = 40.50 - 5M = 66.50 - 9M
40.50 - 5M = 66.50 - 9M
9M - 5M = 66.50 - 40.50
4M = 26.00
M = 6.50
B. What is the delivery fee
D = 40.50 - 5M = 40.50 - 5(6.50) = 40.50 - 32.50 = 8.00
Check
66.50 = 9M + D = 9(6.50) + 8 = 58.50 + 8.00 = 66.50
You put the whole number on top of 1, it doesnt change its value. then you simplify across like in a butterfly only if needed then you multiply across from left to right.
