Question

the local volleyball team hosts a concession stand to raise money. They can spend $120 to purchase popcorn, candy, and drinks. they purchase 95 bags of popcorn at $0.75 each and 35 bags of candy at $1.20 each. how much money does the volleyball team have left to spend on drinks?

Answer 1

To solve this question, I did an equation:
0.75x + 1.20y = 120
0.75(95) + 1.20(35) = 120
Then multiply:
71.25 + 42 = 120
Now to check:
71.25 + 42 = 113.25
Answer: 120 - 113.25 = $6.75 Hope this helps

Answer 2

The money that the volleyball team has left to spend on drinks will be $6.75.The problem is solved by the linear equation.

What is a linear equation?

It is described as the relationship between two variables; if the graph of the linear equation is plotted, we will obtain a straight line.

If there is just one variable in a linear equation, the equation is known as a linear equation in one variable.

Let the number of popcorn bag is x and the no of bags of candy is y.

From the given condition they purchase 95 bags of popcorn at $0.75 each and 35 bags of candy at $1.20 each. The obtained equation is;

$0.75x + 1.20y = 120$

From the given conditions;

$0.75\times 95 + 1.20\times 35 \\\\ 71.25+12 =113.25$

The money does the volleyball team has left to spend on drinks is found as;

Left money = $ 120-$113.25

Left money =$6.75
