A restaurant sells slices for $2 and calzones for $3. On Monday, a total of 54 slices and calzones were sold, and the cashier collected a total of $120 from sales of slices and calzones. Let x represent the number of slices and y represent the number of calzones. Which system of equations represents the situation?
Added by Anthony R.
Step 1
We know that the restaurant sells slices for $2 and calzones for $3. So, the equation for the total amount collected from selling slices can be represented as: 2x Similarly, the equation for the total amount collected from selling calzones can be represented Show more…

PLEASE HELP David owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. He sells each taco for $4.50 and each burrito for $7.75. Yesterday David made a total of $519.25 in revenue from all taco and burrito sales and there were twice as many tacos sold as there were burritos sold. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of tacos sold and the number of burritos sold. Define the variables that you use to write the system. (Let statments and system of equations)

Kayle owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She only has enough supplies to make 120 tacos or burritos. She sells each tacos for $3 and each burrito for $6. Kaylee must sell at least $480 worth of tacos and burritos each day. If X represents the number of tacos sold and y represents the number of burritos sold, write and solve a system of inequalities graphically and determine one possible solution
A discount bookstore sells hardcover books for $12 and paperback books for $6. The number of hardcover books, x, sold one day was twice the number of paperback books, y, sold the same day.
