Question

This is a chemistry question, but it has to do with measurements,one bottle of aspirin holds 50 tablets, each containing 250 mg of aspirin and sells for $1.95. Another bottle holds 100 tablets, each containing 200 mg of aspirin and sells for $3.75. For each bottle, calculate the value in milligrams of of aspirin per dollar. which bottle is the better bargain?

Answer 1

Hi Frizzy!

Answer 2

50 x + 250 y = $1.95
100 x + 200 y = $ 3.75
use elimination in order to get x and y value
x=tablets and y = mg
