The science club is raising money for a trip to the museum. tickets to the museum cost $8. five students already have a membership to the museum, so they will get in for free. the club raised the $296 needed to take all students in the club to the museum.
complete the equation below to find the number of students in the club. use s to represent the number of students.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

answer: the answer is ann
