A caterer is planning a party for 232 people.
•The customer has $808 to spend.
•A $32 pan of pasta feeds 8 people and a $36 sandwich
tray feeds 12 people.
•How many pans of pasta and how many sandwich
trays should the caterer make?
p = no. of pans of pasta
w = no. of trays of sandwiches
32p + 36w = 808
p = 14
8p + 12w = 232
w = 10

The bill for 3 Big Macs and 2 Cokes is 59 Bsf.
The bill for 7 Big Macs and 8 Cokes is 161 Bsf.
What would be the bill for 2 Big Macs and 1
Coke? b = cost of 1 Big Mac
c = cost of 1 Coke
3b + 2c = 59
b = 15 Bsf
7b + 8c = 161

Your family is planning a 10 day trip to Florida. You
estimate that it will cost $350 per day in Orlando and
$310 per day in Miami. Your total budget for the 10
days is $3220. How many days should you spend in
each location?
m = no. of days in Miami
d = no. of days in Orlando
m + d = 10
m=7
350d + 310m = 3220
