Question

Brodie's gourmet Pretzel shop specializes in selling the very finest chocolate covered pretzels. Erin bought 4 white chocolate pretzels and 6 dark chocolate pretzels for $10.50. Samantha bought 8 white chocolate and 3 dark chocolate pretzels for $9.75. Find out the cost of each type of pretzel.

Answer 1

Answer:$.75 and $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

X=white chocolate    4x+6y=10.50

y=dark chocolate      8x+3y=9.75

Both deal w/money    solve using elimination.

4x+6(1.25)=10.50

4x+7.5==10.50

x=.75

-2(4x+6y=10.50)

8x+3y==9.75

-9y/-9=-11.25/-9

y=1.25
