Answer:
Team will need to purchase 40 bars from each company.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given question is incomplete; here is the complete question.
"The soccer team is planning to sell health bars for a fundraiser. The prices of purchasing health bars from two different companies are represented by the system of equations shown, where x is the number of bars purchased and y is the total cost in dollars. Company A: y = 0.75x. Company B: y = (10 + 0.50x). How many bars would the team need to purchase from each company in order for the total cost to be equal?"
Equation for company A,
y = 0.75x
And equation for the company B,
y = 0.5x + 10
where y = cost of the bars
and x = number of bars purchased
If cost of the bars are same for both the companies.
0.75x = 0.5x + 10
0.75x - 0.5x = (0.5x + 10) - 0.5x
0.25x = 10
x = [tex]\frac{10}{0.25}[/tex]
x = 40 health bars
Therefore, the team will need to purchase 40 health bars.
Answer:
The correct answer is 40 bars.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to find this amount we have to find when the y values are worth the same. Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other to find a time when the y values are the same.
Company A = Company B
.75x = 10 + .50x ---> Now subtract .50x from both sides.
.25x = 10 ---> Now divide both sides by .25
x = 40
When x = 40 it will cost $30 from both companies.
