Greeley [361]

Answer:

8 bags of pretzels

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of bags of pretzels Tim buys. We assume he spends exactly $20 on exactly 12 bags of snack food. Then his purchase is ...

1.50x + 2.00(12-x) = 20.00

-0.50x +24.00 = 20.00 . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

-0.50x = -4.00 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 24

x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . divide by -0.50

Tim will buy 8 bags of pretzels.
