4. EXAMPLE Maya sells concessions at a local sporting event. In one hour, she sells 72 drinks. The drink sizes are small, which sells for $2 each, and large, which sells for $3 each. If her total sales revenue was $190, how many of each size did she sell? 7.4 Applications and Problem Solving a Solve applied problems by translating to a system of two equations in two variables.

5. EXAMPLE 1. Familiarize. Suppose that of the 72 drinks, 20 where small and 52 were large. The 72 drinks would then amount to a total of 20($2) + 52($3) = $196. Although our guess is incorrect, checking the guess has familiarized us with the problem. We let s = the number of small drinks and l = the number of large drinks. 7.4 Applications and Problem Solving a Solve applied problems by translating to a system of two equations in two variables.

12. EXAMPLE 1. Familiarize. When faced with a new problem, it is often useful to compare it to a similar problem that you have already solved. Here instead of $2 and $3 drinks, we are counting pizza stones. We let c = the circular stone and r = the rectangular stone. 2. Translate. Since a total of 37 stones were sold, we havec + r = 37. 7.4 Applications and Problem Solving a Solve applied problems by translating to a system of two equations in two variables.

If 34.6 lb of Italian Roast and 25.4 lb of Venezuelan Blend are mixed, a 60-lb blend will result. The value of 34.6 lb of Italian beans is 34.6($9.95), or $344.27. The value of 25.4 lb of Venezuelan Blend is 25.4($11.25), or $285.75, so the value of the blend is $630.02. A 60-lb blend priced at $10.50 a pound is also worth $630, so our answer checks.
