Jillian is selling boxes of cookies to raise money for her basketball team. The 10 oz. box costs $3.50, while the 16 oz. box costs $5.00. At the end of one week, she collected $97.50, selling a total of 24 boxes. The system of equations that models her sales is below. x+ y= 24

3.50x + 5.00y = 97.50

Solve the system of equations. How many 10 oz. boxes were sold?

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that x represents the number of 10-oz boxes sold. Then y=24-x is the number of 16-oz boxes sold. Substituting for y in the second equation gives ...

  3.50x +5.00(24 -x) = 97.50

  -1.50x +120 = 97.50

  22.50 = 1.50x . . . . . . . add 1.50x -97.50

  15 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.50

15 10-oz boxes were sold.

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.

step-by-step explanation: just trying to get points sorry : (

i believe that the answer is

b. y-1=-2(x-4)

hope this !
