Question

suppose you are organizing a party and have a budget of b dollars for the appetizers. You plan to order v vegetarian spring rolls at $0.75 each and s shrimp rolls at $0.95 each.

The equation 0.75v+0.95s=b represents this constraint.

Solve 0.75v+0.95s=b for v

When would it be most helpful to use this equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

v = b/0.75 - 0.95s/0.75

Or

v = (b - 0.95s) / 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 0.75v + 0.95s = b for v

This means making v the subject of the formula

0.75v + 0.95s = b

Subtract 0.95s from both sides

0.75v + 0.95s - 0.95s = b - 0.95s

0.75v = b - 0.95s

Divide both sides by 0.75

v = (b - 0.95s) / 0.75

v = b/0.75 - 0.95s/0.75

The equation will be useful in determining the number of vegetarian
