Question 763500: thursday is ladies night at the slurp and burp bar and grill. all adult beverages are $1.25 for women and $2.25 for men. A total of 510 adult beverages were sold last Thursday night. If the Slurp and burp sold a total of $824.50 in adult beverages last thursday night, how many adult beverages were sold to women? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Women = x
Men = y
x + y = 510...1
1.25x + 2.25y = $824.50...2
Multiply (10 by 2.25
2.25x + 2.25y = 1147.50...3
1.25x + 2.25y = 824.50...2
Subtract (2) from (3)
x = 323
Substitute x = 323 into (1)
x + y = 510
323 + y = 510
y = 510 - 323
y = 187
Women bought 323 adult beverages
Men bought 187 adult beverages.
Hope this helps.
:-)
