<PRE><B>Question 1109626</B>
Kit bought a soft drink and a sandwich for $9 what was the price of each if the sandwich cost 3.5 times more than the soft drink
-------------
1 time more = 100% more = 2x
2 time more = 200% more = 3x
3 time more = 300% more = 4x
3.5 time more = 350% more = 4.5x as much
-------------
D = price of soft drink
S = price of sandwich
-----
D + 4.5D = $9
5.5D = 900
D = 1800/11 cents
S = 4.5D = 8100/11 cents
