At a convenience store, bottled water costs $1.10 and sodas cost $2.35. One day, the receipts for a total of 172 waters and sodas were $294.20. Let w = # of waters sold. Let s = # of sodas sold. Write the equation and answer out.

($1.1 + $2.35) X 172 = $294.20

Explanation:

Cost of water = $1.10

Cost of soda = $2.35

Total water and soda = 172

Total cost = $294.20

Equation = ?

According to the question the equation becomes;

($1.1 + $2.35) X 172 = $294.20

answer: yes, since the line has a steeper rate of change than the exponential the y-values will be greater and they will only intersect one time.
