Answer:

10 drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an equation to find the amount of drinks needed, x.

[tex]90-4.75x = 75-3.25x[/tex]

Now let’s solve for x by isolating it on one side of the equation.

Subtract 75 from both sides:

[tex]15 - 4.75x = -3.25x[/tex]

Add 3.25x to both sides:

[tex]15-1.5x=0[/tex]

Add 1.5x to both sides:

[tex]15 = 1.5x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.5:

[tex]x = 10[/tex]

Hope this helped!
