Problema Solution
John has $170 to spend on a party. At the store he sees that he can buy 14 bottles of specialty soda and 6 large pizzas or 2 bottles of specialty soda and 13 large pizzas for exactly $170. How much does each soda and each large pizza cost?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
x = the price of the soda
y = the price of large pizza
14*x + 6*y = 170
2*x + 13*y = 170
Lets solve the system of equations
x = $7
y = $12
The cost of the soda is $7.
The cost of the large pizza is $12
