Answer:

220 candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candy bars sold=c

Let the number of fruit snacks sold=f

A total of 650 items were sold.

  • Therefore: c+f=650

Candy bars are sold for $2.50

Fruit snacks are sold for $1.50

Total Income =$1,195

  • Therefore: 2.5c+1.5f=1195

We solve the resulting system of equation for c, the number of candy bars sold.

  • c+f=650
  • 2.5c+1.5f=1195

From the first equation, f=650-c

Substitute f=650-c into 2.5c+1.5f=1195

2.5c+1.5(650-c)=1195

2.5c+975-1.5c=1195

Collect like terms

2.5c-1.5c=1195-975

c=220

Therefore, 220 candy bars were sold.

A pro bowling shop is dropping the price on bowling balls 24% to a sale price of 134.20. What was the original price?
svet-max [94.6K]
Okay so the discount price is 76% of the original price so to find the original price you'd take the discount price and divide it by 76 to find 1% of the original, you could then multiply the 1% by 100 to find the original price.

134.2/76=1.765789473684211     100(1.765789473684211)=176.58. 

So the answer is that the original price was $176.58

4. Combine the like-terms:
| -10 - -2 = -8. |

5. Combine this with the original equation.
