A restaurant has two appetizer specials. Tomato bread costs 5 point 5 0 dollars , and stuffed mushrooms cost 6 point 7 5 dollars The total amount in sales from the two appetizers on a Friday night was 186 point 7 5 dollars Which equation can be used to represent x , the number of stuffed mushroom orders and y , the number of tomato bread orders?
Answer
A
6 point 5 x plus 5 point 7 5 y is equal to 186 point 7 5
B
6 point 7 5 x plus 5 point 5 y is equal to 186 point 7 5
C
5 point 5 x plus 6 point 7 5 y is equal to 186 point 7 5
D
6 point 5 x plus 5 point 5 y is equal to 186 point 7 5
Explanation
Each stuffed mushroom order costs $6.75, and x represents the number of those orders, so their sales total is 6.75x. Each tomato bread order costs $5.50, and y represents that number, so its sales total is 5.50y. Together, the sales equal $186.75, giving 6.75x + 5.50y = 186.75, which is choice B.
