She would have to pay $3.40 I think. A 12-pack is half the size of a 24-pack so I did half the price.
If your question looks like mine (shown in picture).Your answer would be number 4.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
The short answer is there isn’t.
Start by writing each of these as an expression:
x * y = 60
x + y = 7
Next, solve each for the same variable; in this case, y:
(x * y) / x = 60 / x
.: y = 60 / x
(x + y) - x = 7 - x
.: y = 7 - x
Next, replace y of the second expression to the first
y = 60 / x & y = 7 - x
.: 7 - x = 60 / x
Now, solve for x:
(7 - x) * x = (60 / x) * x
.: x * 7 - x^2 = 60
This is quadratic, so write it in the form of ax2 + bx + x = 0
(-1)x^2 + (7)x + (-60) = 0
.: a = -1, b = 7, c = -60
Finally solve for b:
x = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c)) / 2a
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(7^2 - 4*-1*-60)) / (2 * -1)
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(49 - 240)) / -2
.: x = (-7 +- sqrt(-191)) / -2
The square root of a negative value is imaginary and thus there’s no real answer to this problem.
Answer:
system of equations are
y=53x + 10, y=55x
Step-by-step explanation:
y=mx+b where x is the number of tickets purchased and y is the total cost.
We need to frame the equation for each option
Option 1: $53 for each ticket plus a shipping fee of $10
1 ticket cost = 53
So x tickets cost = 53x
shipping fee = $10 so b= 10
So equation becomes y=53x + 10
Option 2: $55 for each ticket and free shipping
1 ticket cost = 55
So x tickets cost = 55x
shipping fee =0 so b= 0
So equation becomes y=55x
Here you have 2 linear equations and are to solve this system. Both equations have already been solved for y, so you can set one of them = to the other one:
-2x+11 = -3x+21.
Then 3x-2x = 21 - 11, or x = 10 (answer)
Find y by subst. x = 10 into either of the given equations.
Solution is then (10, ? )
