The soccer team is planning to sell health bars for a fundraiser. The prices of purchasing health bars from 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?

Respuesta :

Let the equations given for the costs for Company A and Company B be equal such that,
                                            y (A) = y (B)
                                             0.75x = 10 + 0.50x
The value of x from the given equation is 40. Thus, each team should purchase 40 health bars. 

The value of x from the given equation is 40. Thus, each team should purchase 40 health bars.

What is an equation?

An equation is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

Let the equations given for the costs for Company A and Company B be equal such that,

                                         

y (A) = y (B)                                          

0.75x = 10 + 0.50x

The value of x from the given equation is 40. Thus, each team should purchase 40 health bars.
