Let

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

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

we know that

[tex] 1.5c+2h=360 [/tex] -------> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] c=4h [/tex] -------> equation [tex] 2 [/tex]

Substitute equation [tex] 2 [/tex] in equation [tex] 1 [/tex]

[tex] 1.5*(4h)+2h=360 [/tex]

[tex] 6h+2h=360 [/tex]

[tex] 8h=360 [/tex]

[tex] h=45 [/tex]

Find the value of c

[tex] c=4*45=180 [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

The number of cold beverages is [tex] 180 [/tex]

The number of hot beverages is [tex] 45 [/tex]
