Question

Francis is at the state fair. A fair concession stand is selling funnel cakes for $3.50 and deep-fried Oreos for $2.00. Write an equation in standard form that models the number of funnel cakes x and the number of deep fried oreos y Francis can buy if he spends $42.00.

Answer 1

The equation that models the number of funnel cakes and Oreos he can buy is 3.50x + 2.0y = 42

Data given;

• Cost of cakes = $3.50

• Cost of Oreos = $2.00
• The total amount spent = $42.00

What is the Equation

To solve this problem, we just need to write out an equation to show how he can spend $42.00 in the fair on Oreos and Cakes.

Let x represent the cakes

Let y represent the Oreos

The equation is thus;

$3.50x + 2.0y = 42.00$

The equation that shows the number of Cakes and Oreos can by is

3.50x + 2.0y = 42
