You can put this solution on YOUR website! Clara and her friends are planning a trip to paintball park. Find the cost of lunch and the cost of each paintball. What would be the cost for 400 paintballs and lunch? $25 for 500 & $16 for 200
-----
Equations::
L + 500p = 25 dollars
L + 200p = 16 dollars
--------
Subtract and solve for "p"::
300p = 900 cents
p = 3 cents (cost of one paintball)
-----------------
Solve for "L"::
L + 200p = 1600 cents
-----
L + 200*3 = 1600 cents
L = $10.00 (cost of lunch)
