An energy bar company manufactures peanut butter and chocolate bars.
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

sold 120 chocolate bars

sold 140 peanut butter bars

Step-by-step explanation:

x = peanut butter bars

y = chocolate bars

x + y = 260, total lbs

0.25x + 0.30y = 71, money

solve double variable equation

multiply -4 on both sides for 2nd equation

-x + -1.2y = -284

add both equations together

-0.2y = -24

y = 120

x = 260 - 120

x = 140

sold 120 chocolate bars

sold 140 peanut butter bars
