Answer:
The correct option 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
[tex]2.75x+3.25y=215[/tex] .... (1)
Let x is the number of pretzels sold and y is the number of popcorn bags sold.
Total sales is defined as
[tex]Sales=C_1x+C_2y[/tex] ... (2)
From (1) and (2) it is clear that,
The cost of each pretzel is $2.75 or 275 cents. The cost of each popcorn bag is $3.25 or 325 cents ($1 = 100 cents). Total sales is $215.
[tex]325-275=50[/tex]
Pretzels cost is 50 cents less than popcorn bags. The variable x represents the number of pretzels sold and y represents the number of popcorn bags sold. The total sales was $215.
Therefore the correct option 4.
