For a club gathering you were having, you bought a total of 50 burgers, and spent $90. You paid $2 per turkey burger, and $1.50 for each veggie burger. Next year, you want to spend the same amount of money on burgers, $90. If the number of turkey burgers is doubled, would you have to cut the number of veggie burgers in half? Explain your reasoning.

Explanation:

1. Model the situation with a system of equations

a) Name the variables:

b) Number of burgers:

c) Cost of the 50 burgers:

2. Solve that system of equations:

a) System

b) Mutliply the first equation by 2 and subtract the second equation

c) How much would you spend if the next year you buy the double of 20 turkey burgers (40) and the half of 30 veggie burgers (15)

Then, you if you double the number of turkey burgers, and cut the number burgers in half, you would spend more than $90 ($102.50).

what are you trying to solve here

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
