Barbara sells iced tea for $1.49 per bottle and water for $1.25 per bottle. She wrote an equation to find the number of drinks she needs to sell to earn $100. 1.25x + 1.49 = 100What error did Barbara make in writing the equation?
Accepted Solution
A:
the way she has the equation set up, she is only selling 1 bottle of tea and x bottles of water. So, she basically forgot to put the variable in that represents the number of bottles of tea sold
the way it should be : x = # of bottles of water, and y = # of bottles of tea 1.25x + 1.49y = 100
