X= cost per pizza
y= cost per soda
1ST VISIT TO RESTAURANT
x + 2y= $15.95
2ND VISIT TO RESTAURANT
3x + 5y= $45.90
STEP 1
multiply equation from 1st visit by -3. Will be able to solve by elimination method in step 2.
-3(x + 2y)= -3(15.95)
multiply -3 by each term
(-3 * x) + (-3 * 2y)= (-3 * 15.95)
-3x - 6y= -47.85
STEP 2
add 2nd visit equation to new 1st
visit equation in step 1.
3x + 5y= 45.90
-3x - 6y= -47.85
x term will cancel out; solve for y
-y= -1.95
divide both sides by -1
y= $1.95 per soda
STEP 3
substitute y value in either original equation to solve for x
x + 2y= $15.95
x + (2 * 1.95)= 15.95
multiple in parentheses
x + 3.90= 15.95
subtract 3.90 from both sides
x= $12.05 per pizza
CHECK
3x + 5y= $45.90
3(12.05) + 5(1.95)= 45.90
36.15 + 9.75= 45.90
45.90= 45.90
ANSWER: Each pizza costs $12.05 and each soda costs $1.95.
Hope this helps! :)
If john ate 1/2 on Friday, then there was a full half of pizza left when he finished.
And if he ate 1/3 of what was left on Saturday, there was only 2/3 of the pizza left for him to eat. So he ate 2/3 of a pizza on Sunday
X + 5 < 533 Subtract 5 from each side

Answer:
$637.50
Step-by-step explanation:
P = $3000
t= 5years
r = 4.25% per annum
