Question

The school cafeteria sells two kinds of wraps: vegetarian and chicken. The vegetarian wrap cost $1 and the chicken wrap cost$1.80. Today they made $98.80 from the 70 wraps sold. How many of the wraps sold were vegetarian?

Answer 1

let:
x = the number of chicken wrap
y = vegi wrap

70 = x + y --------> 1st equation
98.8 = x(1.8) + y(1) --------> 2nd equation

from 1st equation:

x = 70 - y ---------> substitute to the 2nd equation.

98.8 = (70-y)(1.8) + y(1) -----> solve for y.

98.8 = 126 - 1.8y + y

98.8 = 126 - 0.8y

0.8y = 126 - 98.8

0.8y = 27.2

y = 27.2/.8

y = 34 ------> (34 vegetarian wraps where sold)
