Question 5 (3 points) The soccer team is planning to sell health bars for a fundraiser. The prices of purchasing health bars fro
m 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?
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
