Achocolate thickshake costs $2 more than a fruit smoothie. jack pays $27 for 3 chocolate thick shakes and 4 fruit smoothies. how much do a chocolate thickshake and fruit smoothie cost each?
write in a simultaneous equation

Chocolate thickshakes will cost $5 and fruit smoothies will cost $3. Let's say the cost of chocolate thickshakes are x and the cost of fruit smoothies are y.

3x + 4y = 27

3x + 3y = 24

3(2+s)+4s=27 the answer is $3 for smoothies and $5 for the thick shakes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let say t is for thick shake, s is for smoothies

(2+s)=t

Jake pays $27 for 3 thick shakes and 4 smoothies

Then you plug in the information

3t+4s=27

Since we have what thick shakes equals 2+s

3(2+s)+4s=27

then simplify

6+3s+4s=27 Combine like terms

6+7s=27 Do the inverse operation -6 on both sides

7s=21 The divide by 7 to get s by itself

3=s is for the smoothies

Then plug back in s to find the vaule of the thick shakes

2+3=t

5=thick shake

Step 1: Write down the decimal divided by 1, like this: decimal 1. Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point. (For example, if there are two numbers after the decimal point, then use 100, if there are three then use 1000, etc.) Step 3: Simplify (or reduce) the fraction.
