Answer:

The number of bags of chips sold was 20 and the number of fruit snacks sold was 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number of bags of chips sold

y ---> the number of fruit snacks sold

we know that

Penelope made $42.50

so

1.75x+1.50y=42.50 ----> equation A

Penelope sold 15 more bags of chips than fruit snacks.

x=y+15 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

1.75(y+15)+1.50y=42.50

solve for y

1.75y+26.25+1.50y=42.50\\3.25y=16.25\\y=5

<em>Find the value of x</em>

x=5+15=20

therefore

The number of bags of chips sold was 20 and the number of fruit snacks sold was 5

Dilation about the origin multiplies every coordinate by the scale factor.

C' = 4(-5, 2) = (-20, 8)

A' = 4(-4, 4) = (-16, 16)

T' = 4(-1, 2) = (-4, 8)
