At Phillips convenience store the total cost of one medium and one large soda is $1.74. The large soda cost $.16 more than the medium soda. Find the cost of each soda
Let the cost of large soda=L
The cost of the medium soda=M
L+M=1.74
L=M+0.16 solve for L, M
L=$0.95 cost of large soda
M=$0.79 cost of medium soda.
I am going to provide the steps for the solving :D
L+M=1.74L=M+0.16(M+0.16)+M=1.742M+0.16=1.74M=1.74−0.162=0.79L=0.79+0.16=0.95
