Rachel can buy licorice sticks for $0.75 and cherry candies for $0.50 and has a budget of $25. If her expenses are represented b
y the equation 0.75x + 0.5y = 25, where x is the number of licorice sticks and y is the number of cherry candies, how many cherry candies can she buy if she wishes to spend the entire $25 on cherry candies? (Note: x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, and x and y take only integer values.)
The correct answer among the choices provided is option B. She can buy 50 cherry candies if she wishes to spend her entire money on it. The first step to find the answer is to substitute the x value with zero. Then the equation that is used to arrive at the answer is 0.5y =25.
The answer is 100 sections. You get this by converting 2 meters which will be 200 cm then just divide 200 by 10 and you get 100! Hope this helps sorry if I get it wrong
