Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, the more negative a number is, the farther below 0 it is getting.

So, -100 is less than -1. And in this case, -5 is less than -2.

<h3>The cost of each burrito platters is $ 41 and cost of each taco platter is $ 20</h3>

Solution:

Let "a" be the cost of each burrito platters sold

Let "b" be the cost of each taco platters sold

She spent $203 on 3 burrito platters and 4 taco platters

Thus we frame a equation as:

3 burrito platters x cost of each burrito platters + 4 taco platters x cost of each taco platters = 203

$3 \times a + 4 \times b = 203\\\\3a + 4b = 203 --------- eqn 1$

For a company meeting, she spent $285 on 5 burrito platters and 4 taco platters

Thus we frame a equation as:

5 burrito platters x cost of each burrito platters + 4 taco platters x cost of each taco platters = 285

$5 \times a + 4 \times b = 285\\\\5a + 4b = 285 --------- eqn 2$

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Subtract eqn 1 from eqn 2

5a + 4b - 3a - 4b = 285 - 203

2a = 82

a = 41

Substitute a = 41 in eqn 1

3(41) + 4b = 203

123 + 4b = 203

4b = 203 - 123

4b = 80

b = 20

Thus cost of each burrito platters is $ 41 and cost of each taco platter is $ 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Price = 29.50 + 13.50(p - 2)$

The question has missing details. However, I will solve on a general term.

A possible question could be to find the cost of purchasing (say 10 bottles).

To do this, we simply substitute 10 for p.

So:

$Price = 29.50 + 13.50(p - 2)$

$Price = 29.50 + 13.50(10 - 2)$

$Price = 29.50 + 13.50 * 8$

$Price = 29.50 + 108$

$Price = 137.50$

i.e. $137.50 for 10 pint bottles

Another possible question is to calculate the number of pint bottles that amount to (say $70).

To do this, we simply substitute 70 for Price.

So:

$Price = 29.50 + 13.50(p - 2)$

$70 = 29.50 + 13.50(p - 2)$

Collect like terms

$70 - 29.50 = 13.50(p - 2)$

$40.5= 13.50(p - 2)$

Divide both sides by 13.50

$3= p - 2$

Add 2 to both sides

$3 + 2 = p - 2 + 2$

$5 = p$

$p = 5$

i.e. $70 will buy 5 pint bottles
