Kiran's family is having people over to watch a football game. They plan to serve sparkling water and pretzels. Including Kiran's family, there will be 10 people at the gathering A bottle of sparkling water contains 22 ounces and costs $1-50. A package of pretzels contains 16 ounces and costs $2.99. Let s represent the bottles of sparkling water, p represent the packages of pretzels, and b represent Kiran's budget in dollars. Write an equation to represent the situation.

i can you with this question sweetie!

step-by-step explanation:

the solution of the equation is 2.23 ⇒ answer b

step-by-step explanation:

* lets revise the meaning of exponential function

- the form of the exponential function is y = ab^x, where a ≠ 0, b > 0 ,  

  b ≠ 1, and x is any real number

- it has a constant base b

- it has a variable exponent x

- to solve an exponential equation, take the log or ln of both sides,  

  and solve for the variable

* lets solve the problem

∵

- the base is 7 and the exponent is x

- insert ㏑ in both sides

∴

- use the rule

∴ x ㏑(7) = ㏑(77)

- to find x divide both sides by ㏑(7)

∴

* the solution of the equation is 2.23 to the nearest 2 decimal places
