Answer

Answer

$1.75 x + 1.50 y = 525$

1Step-1 –Defining the variable

Let,

Jackson sold beverages = $x$

Jackson sold candy= $y$

2Step-2 –Determining the cost of beverages and candy

Cost of 1 beverages = $1.75$

Cost of $x$ beverages = $1.75 x$

Cost of 1 candy = $1.50$

Cost of $x$ candy = $1.50 y$

Total goal to sale = $525$

3Step-3 –Forming an equation

$1.75 x + 1.50 y = 525$
