Answer:

The number of boxes of candy sold are:

40 small boxes and

12 large boxes of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of small boxes sold = x

Let the number of large boxes sold = y

we are given the following information:

x + y = 52 - - - - - -(1)   (Chara sold 52 boxes of candy)

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)   (Chara sold $112 worth of candy)

From the two equations above, x and y can be solved as follows:

x + y = 52   - - - - - -(1)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

putting the value if x in equation (3) to replace x in equation (2);

3.5(y) + 1.75(x) = 112 - - - - - - (2)

3.5(y) + 1.75(52 - y) = 112

3.5y + 91 - 1.75y = 112

(3.5y - 1.75y) + 91 = 112

1.75y = 112 - 91 = 21

y = 21 ÷ 1.75 = 12

y = 12

Now, let us put the value of y into equation (3)

x = 52 - y    - - - - - - (3)

x = 52 - 12 = 40

Therefore,

40 small boxes and 12 large boxes of candy were sold.

A music website charges x dollars for individual songs and y dollars for an entire album. Person A pays $25.92 to download 6 ind
EleoNora [17]
Amount charged for downloading individual songs = x dollars
Amount charged for downloading an entire song album = y dollars
Person A:
6x + 2y = 25.92
3x + y = 12.96
y = 12.96 - 3x
Person B:
4x + 3y = 33.93
Putting the value of y from the first equation in the second we get
x = 0.99 dollars
Putting the value of x in the first equation we get
y = 12.96 - 3x
= 12.96 - 2.97
= 9.99 dollars
