Answer:
- white chocolate chip: $17
- gingerbread: $19
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let x and y represent the costs of packages of white chocolate chip and gingerbread cookie dough, respectively. Then the two sales can be represented by ...
11x +2y = 225
8x +10y = 326
__
There are several ways a system of equations like this can be solved. One of my favorites is to use a graphing calculator (see attached).
We can also use substitution. We see that the coefficients of y are simply related, so we can use ...
2y = 225 -11x . . . . from equation 1
8x +5(2y) = 326 . . . rearrange equation 2
8x +5(225 -11x) = 326 . . . . substitute for 2y
-47x +1125 = 326 . . . . simplify
799 = 47x . . . . . . . add 47x-326
17 = x . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 47
2y = 225 -11(17) = 38
y = 19 . . . . . . divide by 2
The package costs are ...
white chocolate chip dough: $17
gingerbread dough: $19.
