Question 1088085: A concession-stand manager buys bottles of water and soda to sell at a football game. The manager needs to buy a total of 4,500 drinks and have 25% more water than soda. Let w be the number of bottles of water and let s be the number of bottles of soda. Create a system of equations for w in terms of s that the manager could use to find out how many bottles of water and soda to buy.

If s is soda, and w is water, then w=1.25s. So:
s+w=4500
s+1.25s=4500
2.25s=4500
s=2000
w=2500
