Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The equation representing the given situation is  1.50 X + 2 Y = 90Step-by-step explanation:Let X be the number of hamburgers purchased.The cost of 1 hamburger = $1.50So, the amount spent on X burgers = X times (cost of each burger)= X($1.50)  = 1.50 X Y be the number of turkey burgers purchased.The cost of 1 turkey burger  = $2So, the amount spent on Y turkey burgers = Y times (cost of each burger)= Y($2)  = 2 YTotal amount spent on both type both burgers= $ 90⇒ Money spent on hamburger + Money spent on turkey burger  = $90 or, 1.50 X + 2 Y = $90Hence, the equation representing the given situation is  1.50 X + 2 Y = 90
