No, (9.5, 144) does not make sense because there is no point of 9.5 and when you divide the ounces of water by the flavoring packets you end up with 12, and if you were to simplify that it would end up with 1 flavor packet and 12 ounces of water.

Answer:
The person invested $3500 at 7% and $2500 at 5%
Step-by-step explanation:
We can say that 
because the investment is equal both in one as in another, where x is the income from the investment.
Solving the equation we have:
Then to get the incomes:
At 7%: 
And at 5%: 
Finally we can demonstrate the answer because the income at 7% + income at 5% are 3500+2500=$6000
(1/6)*(1*5) is the required expression
Amount of money collected in the 2-day fundraiser is represented by the following equations:
- 12x + 4y = 152 .................. (i)
- 32x + 12y = 420 .................. (ii)
where x is the cost of a chicken lunch and y is the cost of a vegetarian lunch
Multiplying (i) with 3 and subtracting it from (ii)
36x + 12y - (32x + 12y) = 456 - 420
⇒ 4x = 36
⇒ x = 9
Put value of x in (i)
⇒ 12 × 9 + 4y = 152
⇒ 108 + 4y = 152
⇒ 4y = 44
⇒ y = 11
Hence, cost of the vegetarian meal is 11.
