• So we know that.....
x represent bags of snack and y is bottles of water.
This equations shows the total amount and the cost of each water bottle and snack:
20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y
Total: $20.00
Snack: $2.50
Water Bottle: $1.00
And this question shows the total items:
11 = x + y
Which there will be some snack + some water bottle = 11 items
—————————————————————
• Now I’m going to first solve for x, which is the amount of bags of snack.
I will use the equation, 11 = x + y.
(First, we’ll subtract y from both side, since we’re solving for x [UNDO])
11 = x + y
-y = - y
_______
11 - y = x —> so x is equal to 11 minus y.
—————————————————————
• Now we’re going to plug the 11 - y as x in the equation: 20.00 = 2.50x + 1.00y to solve for y.
20.00 = 2.50 (11 - y) + 1.00y
20.00 = 27.5 - 2.50y + 1.00y (Distributed)
20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y (Combine like terms)
20.00 = 27.5 - 1.50y
-27.5 = -27.5 (Subtract -27.5 both side)
——————————
-7.5 = - 1.50y
-7.5 = -1.50y
—— ——— (Divide both side by -1.50)
- 1.50 = -1.50
5 = y
y is equals to 5, which means that there are 5 water bottles.
Now we know there are 11 items total and because there are 5 water bottles, there will be 6 bags of snacks. 11-5=6

Answer:
5.9× 10^4
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm assuming that by "104" you actually meant "10^4," which reads "fourth power of 10." Please be sure to use the symbol " ^ " to express exponentiation.
The sum of 2.5 × 10^4 and 3.4 × 10^4 is (2.5 + 3.4)×10^4
or
5.9× 10^4
