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
\(L+M = 1.74\\ L = M+0.16\\ (M+0.16)+M = 1.74\\ 2M + 0.16 = 1.74\\ M = \dfrac{1.74-0.16}{2}=0.79\\ L = 0.79 + 0.16 = 0.95\)
