• Max sells lemonade for $2 per cup and candy for
$1.50 per bar. He earns $425 selling lemonade
and candy.
• a. Write a linear model that relates the number of
cups of lemonade he sold to the number of bars
of candy he sold.
2x + 1.5y = 425
x = lemonade and y = candy
• b. If Max sold 90 bars of candy, how many cups of
lemonade did he sell?
2x +
1.5(90)
= 425
x = 145 cups
