Q:

HELP PLEASE ASAPselect the system of equations that represents this situation use c to represent the cost of a cup of coffee and w to represent the cost of a bottle of water7 cups of coffee and 2 bottles of water cost $16 8 cups of coffee and 3 bottles of water cost$19A) c+w=20 7c+2w=16B) 7c+8w=16 2c+3w=19C) 7c+2w=16 8c+3w=19D) 2+7w=16 3c+8w=19

Accepted Solution

A:
The system of equations that represent this situation is 7c + 2w = 16 and 8x + 3y = 19Let c represent the cost of a cup of coffee and w to represent the cost of a bottle of water7 cups of coffee and 2 bottles of water cost $16, hence:7c + 2w = 16   (1)8 cups of coffee and 3 bottles of water cost $19, hence:8x + 3y = 19      (2)The system of equations that represent this situation is 7c + 2w = 16 and 8x + 3y = 19Find out more at:
