You can put this solution on YOUR website! For a future teacher of America fundraiser, Denzel sold food as shown in the table below. He sold 11 more subs than pizzas and earned a total of $233. Write and solve a system of equations to represent this situation. Then describe what the solution means.
Item Selling Price
Pizza $5.00
Sub $3.00
---------------
Quantity Equation:: s = p + 11
Value Equation:: 3s+5p = 233
---------------------------
Substitute for "s" and solve for "p"::
3(p+11) + 5p = 233
8p + 33 = 233
8p = 200
p = 25 (# of pizzas)
----
s = p+11 = 36 (# of subs)
