Thursday is ladies night at the slurp in Burt bar and Grill. All adult beverages are $1.25 for women and $2.50 for men. A total of 211 adult beverages were sold last Thursday night. If the slip and burp sold a total of $365.00 in adult beverages last Thursday night, how many adult beverages were sold to women?

Respuesta :

Answer:

130 women

Step-by-step explanation:

First set up a system of equations:

1.23W+2.50M=365.00

W+M=211

Using substitution you get:

1.25W+2.50(211-W)=365.00

Simplify:

-1.25W=-162.5

Divide:

W=130
