A store sells packages of 48 Snickers bars for $28 per package, and packages of 36 KitKat bars for $22.50 per package. Mrs. Swee
ttooth bought some packages of Snickers bars and some packages of KitKat bars in this store. She bought total 204 candy bars and paid $123.50. How many of each brand of candy bars did she buy?
Step-by-step explanation: you should do system of equations and then it would be 48s+36k=204 and 28s+22.5k=123.5, after you do the math, the answer turns out to be 96 snickers and 108 kitkats. :)
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.
