Answer 1

Answer:

let x =   people that order bagels and y =people order croissants

For every two people that order bagels, there are five people who order croissants.

2x = 5y

x =5y/2 and y = 2x/5

so mathematically

a) x=5y/2

if a people order bagels , then  5/2 people order croissants

b) b y = 2bx/5

if b people order croissants, 2bx /5 people order bagels

c)  a total of c people  = 2x + 5y

people order bagels ( x )= ( c - 5y )/2

if the answer is useful pls mark as brainliest...........plsss
