The junior class sold 120 turkey dinner plates and 200 chicken dinner plates for a total of $2,150. The senior class sold 100 turkey plates and 300 chicken plates, raising $2,625. What was the cost of each turkey dinner plate? What is the cost of each chicken plate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Write the system of equations with 2 unknowns x and y denoting the prices of two types of chickens:

(1) 120x + 200y = 2150

(2) 100x + 300y = 2625

Solving the system of equations above we have 2 solutions:

x = 15/2 = $ 7.5 and y = 25/4 = $ 6.25
