Question

Excuse the work I’ve already done but I cannot seem to get the right answer. I’m getting 3.5 for the fries and 12.55 for the pizzas.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

set pizzas as x, set french fries as y

5x + 2y = 73.25

and

2x + y = 30

y= -2x + 30

sub y = -2x + 30 into 5x + 2y = 73.25

5x + 2(-2x+30) = 73.25

5x - 4x + 60 = 73.25

x = 13.25

2(13.25) + y = 30

26.5 + y = 30

y = 3.5

6 pizzas and 4 french fries.

6(13.25) + 4(3.5)

= 79.5 + 14

= 93.5

100 < 93.5

Therefore, Lynn has enough budgets to buy 6 pizzas and 4 french fries.
