(1) 7S+3D=6S+4D=> S=D sandwitch and desert same price
so 50$ should be wnough to buy 5S and 5D
(2) 3S+7D=7S+3D=> S=D sandwitch and desert same price
so 50$ should be wnough to buy 5S and 5D
Answer D

I agree with hsampath: Ans B.
Let the price of a sandwich be S and a dessert be D.
From 1 and stem: 7S+3D<=50 (1) and 6S+4D<=50 (2). let (1)-(2) we have S-D <=0 this means that the price of a sandwich is less than that of a dessert. So, we can not tell for sure if we can by 5S and 5D for $50 or less.
From 2 and stem: setting up the 2 equations: we still have S<=D. but this time, since we can use $50 to buy 3 S and 7D and S<=D, we know that we can use the amount we pay for the 2D and buy 2 extra S and have enough money. Thus, Suff.

7s+3d10s+10d<=100 s+d<=10 Bingo!
My ans B
OA and OE
I understand why 2 is sufficient. But can someone explain to me why 1 is not sufficient? What am I doing wrong?
From stem:
7x+3y<=50-----(eqn 0)
from 1:
6x +4y<=50----(eqn 1)
multiplying eqn 0 by 6 and eqn 1 by 7 we get
42x+28y<=350
42x+18y<=300 --subtracting we get
-------------------
10y<=50 ---------eqn 3
multiplying eqn 0 by 4 and eqn 1 by 3 we get
28x+12y<=200
18x+12y<=150 --subtracting we get
-------------------
10x <=50 ----------eqn 4
Adding eqn 3 and 4 we get
10x+10y<=100
or 5x+5y<=50
Thanks
