Answer:

Number of bottles = 6

Number of cans = c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Container for selling water :

17 oz bottle

11 oz can

Let number of bottles = b

Number of cans = c

b + c = 11 - - - (1)

17b + 11c = 157 - - - (2)

b = 11 - c

Substitute into (2)

17(11 - c) + 11c = 157

187 - 17c + 11c = 157

187 - 6c = 157

-6c = 157 - 187

-6c = -30

c = 30/6

c = 5

From ; b = 11 - c

b = 11 - 5

b = 6

Hence,

Number of bottles = 6

Number of cans = c
