Question

The math team wraps gifts as a way to raise money for traveling to competitions. They offer two choices: a plain wrapping or a decorative wrapping with bows. The table represents the money raised over a busy shopping weekend.
Which statement describes the amounts the team charged for wrapping gifts?

Answer 1

The information of the table permits you to state these equations:

10x + 9 y = 47

25x + 12 y = 86

16x + 12 y = 68


By subtracting the third equation from the first, you get:

9x = 18

=> x = 18 / 9 = 2


Now using any of the equations you can obtain the value of y.

I will use the first equation:

10x + 9y = 47 => 9y = 47 - 10 (2)  = 27

=> y = 27 / 3 = 3


Those results are interpreted as they charge $2 for each plain wrapping and $3 for each decorative wrapping.


Then, the correct choice is " the team charged $2 to wrap a gift with no bow and $3 to wrap a gift with no bow"

Answer 2

Answer:

The team charged $2 to wrap a gift with no bow and $3 to wrap a gift with a bow. ( B.)
