Answer:

19 bears, 38 boxes of candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use a system of equations (b = # of bears, c = # of candy boxes):

<em>b + c = 57, 8b + 6c = 380</em>.

We can use substitution by isolating b in the first eq.: <em>b = 57 - c</em>, then substitution b with 57 - c in the second eq.: <em>8(57 - c) + 6c = 380</em>.

Then, we solve: 456 - 8c + 6c = 380, 76 = 2c, c = 38 candy boxes.

Finally we plug in 38 for c in the first eq.: b + 38 = 57, b = 19 bears.

Round 5685 to the nearest 100
denpristay [2]
The nearest hundred would be mostly the numbers "685".. We know that anything 50 and greater rounds to the next number, so since 85 > 50, we can round that up to 700. Adding the 5000, it would be 5700
