Raul bought a soft drink and a sandwich for $9.90. What is the price of each if the sandwich cost 3.5 times as much as the soft drink?

finny:

First you want to create a ratio

finny:

We know the sandwich cost 3.5 more than the drink therefore the ratio is 3.5:1

finny:

Narad u got this one?

Narad:

Let price of soft drink = x Price of sandwich =3.5x \[3.5x+x=9.9\] \[4.5x=9.9\] x=9.9/4.5=2.2 Price of soft drink = $ 2.2 price of sandwich = $ 7.7
