A shop sells candles in boxes of 3 for $12.60 each or 1 candle for $5.50. How many candles can Julia buy with $20?

Answer 1

Answer: the number of scented candles ... x

the number of unscented candles ... y

x + y = 28

$16 * x + $10 * y = $400  ... 16 * x + 10 * y = 400

16 * (28 - y) + 10 * y = 40016 * 28 - 16 * y + 10 * y = 400448 - 400 = 16 * y - 10 * y48 = 6 * y    /6y = 48 / 6y = 8x = 28 - y = 28 - 8 = 20Result: The candle shop sold 20 scented candles and 8 unscented candles today.
