Problema Solution
Denzell sold food for the carnival. He sold 11 more subs than tacos and earned $223. Pizzas were $5.00 and subs were $3.00
Solve this using a system.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'x' represent the number of tacos, then let 'x+11' represent the number of subs.
We assume that Denzell earns money without factoring in costs, hence this equation shows the total cost equation:
3.00x+5.00(x+11)=223
x=21
21+11=32
Denzell sold 21 tacos and 32 subs.
