A store sells two different-sized containers of blueberries. The store's sales of these blueberries totaled 896.86 dollars last month. The equation 4.51x + 6.07y = 896.86 represents this situation, where x is the number of smaller containers sold and y is the number of larger containers sold. According to the equation, what is the price, in dollars, of each smaller container?
Correct answer: B. 4.51
- A. 3.51
- B. 4.51
- C. 5.51
- D. 3.96
Explanation
The correct answer is 4.51. It's given that the equation 4.51x + 6.07y = 896.86 represents this situation, where x is the number of smaller containers sold, y is the number of larger containers sold, and 896.86 is the store's total sales, in dollars, of blueberries last month. Therefore, 4.51x represents the store's sales, in dollars, of smaller containers, and 6.07y represents the store's sales, in dollars, of larger containers. Since x is the number of smaller containers sold, the price, in dollars, of each smaller container is 4.51.
