The student council is selling apple cider for $ and hot chocolate for $.

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

The student council earned $1.25 for every cup of hot chocolate it sold

and $0.75 for every cup of apple cider it sold

total number of cup is 375

We can see that first term is 1.25x

and we have

The student council earned $1.25 for every cup of hot chocolate

so, to find total cost of hot chocolate , we multiplied 1.25 with x

that's why

x must be the number of cups of hot chocolate sold

So the answer must be C
