Question 272173: the math club and science club had fundraisers to buy supplies for a hospice. the math club spent 135 buying 6 cases of water. the science club spent 110 buying 4 cases of juice and 2 cases of water . i need 2 equations using x and y Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = price of a case of water
y = price of a case of juice
.
6x = 135 :: 6 cases of water cost $135
.
4y + 2x = 110 :: 4 cases of juice + 2 cases of water cost $110
.
So, there you have 2 equations using x and y.
.
Of course, solving this is now straightforward.
x = 135/6 = 22.50
4y + 2(22.50) = 110
4y = 110 -45 = 65
y = 65/4 = 16.25
.
