the band booster club sells beverages for $1.48 and candy for $1.64 at home games. their goal is to have total sales of $231.64 for each game. write an equation in standard form that would model the different amounts of candy and drinks that could be sold to reach the goal. use the variables x for beverages and y for candy.
Answer: Our required equation in standard form is \(1.48x+1.64y=\$231.64\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of beverages be 'x'.
Let the number of candy be 'y'.
Cost of beverages = $1.48
Cost of home games = $1.64
Total cost = $231.64
According to question, we get that
\(1.48x+1.64y=\$231.64\)
Hence, our required equation in standard form is \(1.48x+1.64y=\$231.64\)
