Answer 2

Answer:

Nicholas has purchased 1.8 pounds of pixie sticks.

Jane has purchased 3.0 pounds of Jolly ranchers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 pounds of pixie sticks = $4.50

Let the number of pixie sticks = x

Total  money spend on x pounds of pixie sticks = $8.10

$\ 4.50\times x=\ 8.10$

$x=\frac{\ 8.10}{\ 4.50}=1.8 pounds$

Nicholas has purchased 1.8 pounds of pixie sticks.

Cost of 1 pounds of Jolly ranchers = $3.25

Let the number of Jolly ranchers = y

Total  money spend on y pounds of Jolly ranchers = $9.75

$\ 3.25\times y=\ 9.75$

$x=\frac{\ 9.75}{\ 3.25}=3.0 pounds$

Jane has purchased 3.0 pounds of Jolly ranchers.
