On the next trip, she was reimbursed $1640 for 5 nights in a hotel and 60 meals with clients. Let x equal the amount the company pays per night lodging and let y equal the amount the company pays per meal. Which system of equations could be solved to fine how much the company reimburses the salesperson for lodging and meals?
A. 45x+4y=1270, 60x+5y=1640
B. 4x+45y=1270, 5x+60y=1640
C. 45x+4y=1640, 60x+5y=1270
D. 4x+45y=1640, 5x+60y=1270 Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, richwmiller:Answer by ikleyn(52786) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! $1270 for 4 nights in a hotel and 45 meals
$1640 for 5 nights in a hotel and 60 meals
x equal the amount the company pays per night
So we are looking for 4x and 5x in separate equations
That's B and D
We are looking for 4x on one side and 1270 on the other side of the equal sign.
That's B
