Question

One week, Ben bought 2 bags of Brutus Bites and 3 bags of Lucky Licks

Answer 1

Answer: 1 Brutus Bites= $9.25

1 Lucky Licks= $8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

2B + 3L= 42.50

5B + 6L= 94.25

Using the elimination method multiply the first equation by -2 to cancel the L's out.

5B + 6L= 94.25

-4B - 6L= -85  

B= 9.25

Then put this number back into the equation to solve the other.

2B + 3L = 42.5

5B + 6L = 94.25

2(9.25) + 3(8) = 42.5

5(9.25) + 6(8) = 94.25
