Answer:

12 Small, 16 Large

Step-by-step explanation:

When you do the math of getting 16 large candles and 12 small candles with respects to the price. You get the math of:

(6×16) + (4×12)

96 + 48

144

16 and 12 will make 28 which proves to be correct as 28 candles were sold

There is a simple algebraic solution to this; a system of equations!

x = small candles and y = large candles

4x + 6y = 144
x + y = 28

Now there are two ways to solve this; substitution and elimination.

Let’s use substitution for practice with the distributive property...

4x + 6y = 144
y = -x + 28

Put the second equation into the first...

4x + 6(-x + 28) = 144
4x - 6x + 168 = 144
-2x + 168 = 144
-2x = -24
x = 12

Plug this into one of the original equations....

12 + y = 28
y = 16

And there you have it! You sold 12 small candles and 16 large candles.
