180 cold beverages and 45 hot beverages were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of cold beverages were sold

Let y be the  no. of hot beverages were sold

We are given that  On Saturday, 4 times as many cold beverages were sold as hot beverages.

So, x=4y

Cost of 1 cold beverage = $1.50

Cost of x cold beverage = 1.50x

Cost of 1 hot beverage = $2.00.

Cost of y hot beverage = 2y

On Saturday, drink receipts totaled $360

So,

A system of equations to represent the beverage sales on Saturday:

---1

---2

Substitute the value of x from 1 in 2

Substitute the value of y in 1

Hence 180 cold beverages and 45 hot beverages were sold
