A store sells both cold and hot beverages. Cold beverages, c , cost 1 point 50 dollars , while hot beverages, h , cost 2 point 00 dollars On Saturday, drink receipts totaled 360 dollars , and 4 times as many cold beverages were sold as hot beverages. Which system of linear equations represents the beverage sales on Saturday?
Answer
A
c plus h is equal to 360 1 point 5 c is equal to 4 times 2 h
B
4 c is equal to h 1 point 5 c plus 2 h is equal to 360
C
c plus h is equal to 360 4 times 1 point 5 c is equal to 2 h
D
c is equal to 4 h 1 point 5 c plus 2 h is equal to 360
Explanation
The revenue equation is 1.5c + 2h = 360 because each cold beverage costs $1.50 and each hot beverage costs $2.00. Since four times as many cold beverages as hot beverages were sold, c = 4h. Together, these equations match choice D.
