Mrs. johnson’s class sold cookies for $2.50 each and mr. smith’s class sold popcorn for $1.50 each. together, the classes sold 53 items and earned $105.50 for their school. (you must show all work to get full ! )3. (a)write and solve a system of equations that model the problem. show all your work. (b)which class earned more money? (c)how much more money did that class earn?

c+p = 53

2.5c+1.5p = 105.5

p = 27

c= 26

Mrs. Johnson  earned 65

Mr Smith  earned 40.5

Mrs Johnson earned  24.50 more

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c = cookies sold

p = popcorn sold

The number of items sold is 53

c+p = 53

The total cost of the items sold is 105.50  

The number of cookies sold times 2.50 plus the number of popcorn sold times 1.50 = 105.50

2.5c+1.5p = 105.5

System of equations:

c+p = 53

2.5c+1.5p = 105.5

Multiply the second equation by 10 to clear the decimals

10 *(2.5c+1.5p) = 10*105.5

25c+15p = 1055

Divide by 5

25c/5 +15p/5 = 1055/5

5c+3p =211

Multiply equation 1 by -5

-5(c+p)=-5*53

-5c-5p=-265

Add the equations

5c+3p =211

-5c-5p=-265

-2p = -54

Divide by -2

-2p/-2 = -54/-2

p = 27

Now we need to find c

c+p = 53

c+27 = 53

Subtract 27 from each side

c+27-27 = 53-27

c= 26

Mrs. Johnson  earned the number of cookies times 2.5

c* 2.5

26*2.5 =65

Mr Smith  earned the number of popcorn times 1.5

p*1.5

27*1.5

40.5

Mrs Johnson earned 65-40.5 = 24.50 more

22.83 repeating

step-by-step explanation:

137 ÷ 6 is 22.8333333 therefore we understand that 3 is repeating.
