The equation for determine the cost of sandwiches one afternoon is y = 5.95*x

x = number of sandwiches

5.95 = cost one sandwiches

The equation for determine the number of sandwiches sold one afternoon is x=y/5.95

We have that

y=71.40

x = (71.40/5.95) x=12 the response is 12 sandwiches sold one afternoon
