Answer:
The cost of each drink is $1.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us represent
The cost of snacks = x
The cost of drinks = y
50 snacks and 180 drinks will sell for $320
Hence:
50x + 180y = 320....... Equation 1
75 snacks and 100 drinks will sell for $225.
Hence:
75x + 100y = 225....... Equation 2
Combining both Equations together
50x + 180y = 320....... Equation 1
75x + 100y = 225....... Equation 2
Multiply Equation 1 by 75 and Equation 2 by 50 to eliminate x
3750x + 13500y = 24000..... Equation 3
3750x + 5000y = 11250....... Equation 4
Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3
8500y = 12750
y = 12750/8500
y = $1.5
Therefore, the cost of each drink is $1.5
