Pizza Hut sold a total of 1,200 small pizzas ($5) and hamburgers ($6) during Harborfest. How many of each did Pizza Hut sell if total sales were $7,000.
Answer provided by our tutors
let
p = the number of small pizzas
h = the number of small hamburgers
Pizza Hut sold a total of 1,200 small pizzas ($5) and hamburgers ($6)
p + h = 1200
total sales were $7,000
5p + 6h = 7000
by solving the system of equations
p + h = 1200
5p + 6h = 7000
we find
p = 200 pizzas
h = 1,000 hamburgers
