Answer:

96 Snickers Bars and 108 Kit Kats

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a system of equations which will be 48x+36y=204 and 28x+22 1/2y=123.5 with x being Snicker bars and y being Kit kats. Solve the system of equations to get x=96, and y=108. Plug in the variables to get 96 Snicker Bars and 108 Kit Kats.
