Question

A store sells both cold and hot beverages. Cold beverages, c, cost $1.50, while hot beverages, h, cost $2.00. On Saturday, drink receipts totaled $360, and 4 times as many cold beverages were sold than hot beverages. Which system of linear equations represents the beverage sales on Saturday? 4c = h 1.5c + 2h = 360 c = 4h 1.5c + 2h = 360 c + h = 360 1.5c = 4(2h) c + h = 360 4(1.5c) = 2h

Answer 1

Answer:

The equations that  represents the beverage sales on Saturday are:

$1.5c+2h=360$

$c=4h$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cold beverages be denoted by = c

Let the hot beverages be denoted by = h

Cost of c = $1.50

Cost of h = $2

On Saturday, drink receipts totaled $360

Equation becomes => $1.5c+2h=360$

Also, 4 times as many cold beverages were sold than hot beverages.

Equation becomes => $c=4h$

Hence, the correct options are :

$1.5c+2h=360$

$c=4h$

Answer 2

2h + 4h  (1.5c) = 360 so option b is correct.
