Total sales were $419 in the first shift, $649 in the second shift, and $96 in the third shift. If you form a linear system representing the data in the table and create a matrix from it, the determinant is 578. What is the price of one chocolate shake?

Can anybody help me?

OpenStudy (aishalicious1):

Well you need the price of the other 2 first plus are they all the same price?

OpenStudy (aishalicious1):

Is it multiple choice?

OpenStudy (aishalicious1):

Tryna get a grip on something....

OpenStudy (mysticfury):

im pretty sure you need to use the 96 bucks in the third shift to figure out the cost of each then from there you can determine the price on the chocolate using how much was made for the first 2 shifts

OpenStudy (aishalicious1):
