Answer:
- 20 taffy bags and 15 caramel candy bags
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
- t = the number of taffy bags
- c = the number of caramel bags
- Number of taffy's are 5 more than caramel bags
- Taffy bags weigh 8 ounces and caramel bags weigh 16 ounces
- Total weight is 400 ounces
<u>Equations:</u>
- t = c + 5 (the difference in number of bags)
- 8t + 16c = 400 (the weight of the bags)
<u>Simplify the second equation by dividing all terms by 8:</u>
<u>Substitute t and solve for c:</u>
- c + 5 + 2c = 50
- 3c = 50 - 5
- 3c = 45
- c = 45/3
- c = 15
<u>Find the value of t:</u>
<u>Answer:</u>
