Answer:
The number of Snapple’s sold = 33
The number of monsters sold = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume , the number of Snapple’s sold = m
So, the number of monsters sold = Number of Snapple’s + 3 = m + 3
Now, the cost of 1 Snapple’s = $1.75
So, the cost of m Snapple’s = m x ( cost of 1 Snapple’s) = m x ($1.75)
= 1.75 m
Now, the cost of 1 monster = $2.50
So, the cost of (m +3) monsters = (m + 3 ) x ( cost of 1 monsters)
= (m+3) x ($2.50) = 2.5 m + 7.5
So, total cost of ( m Snapple’s + (m +3) monsters) = 1.75 m + 2.5 m + 7.5
= 4.25 m + 7.5
Also, the total revenue generated = $147.75
⇒ 4.25 m + 7.5 = $147.75
or, 4.25 m = 147.75 - 7.5 = 140.25
so, m = 140.25/4.25 = 33
Hence, the number of Snapple’s sold = m = 33
And, the number of monsters sold = m + 3 = 33 + 3 = 36
