A lemonade stand sells drinks in two sizes, small and medium. In the span of 1 hour, the stand sold 72 drinks. The ratio of small drinks to medium drinks sold was 5:3. If small drinks cost $0.50 and medium drinks cost $1.00, how much total money did the lemonade stand take in?

The total amount of money received at the lemonade stand was $49.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of small drinks sold

y ---> the number of medium drinks sold

we know that

The stand sold 72 drinks

so

----> equation A

The ratio of small drinks to medium drinks sold was 5:3

----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

Find the value of x

Find out the total amount of money received at the lemonade stand
