Tasha bought salads at $2.75 each and cartons of milk at $.80 each. The total cost was $16.15. How many of each did Tasha buy?
\n" ); document.write( "I will be using the variable s for the number of salads and m for the cartons of milk. My equation is 2.75s + .80m = 16.15.
\n" ); document.write( "I would like some help on how to solve the problem using this equation.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "You need another equation statement.
\n" ); document.write( "The usual one is \"total number of items is 'n'
\n" ); document.write( "Then you would have two equations::
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity Eq::s + m = n
\n" ); document.write( "Value Eq:: 2.75s + 0.80m = 16.15
