If it is multiple choice the answer is b. c = 4h 1.5c + 2h = 360.

Let

c------> number of cold beverages sold

h------> number of hot beverages sold

we know that

\(1.5c+2h=360\) -------> equation \(1\)

\(c=4h\) -------> equation \(2\)

Substitute equation \(2\) in equation \(1\)

\(1.5*(4h)+2h=360\)

\(6h+2h=360\)

\(8h=360\)

\(h=45\)

Find the value of c

\(c=4*45=180\)

therefore

the answer is

The number of cold beverages is \(180\)

The number of hot beverages is \(45\)
