Let the cost of one pound of candy be x and one pound of mint be y.

3x+2y=10.8 a 
x+3y = 5.35  b 
 B*3 = 3x+9y = 16.05 b
 
b-a = 7y = 16.05-10.8= 5.25
           y = 5.25/7 = 0.75 

The cost per pound of mints is $0.75

How many solutions does 2.3y+3.2-y=2.1+1.3y+1.1 have?
jeka57 [31]
1.3y +3.2 = 1.3y +3.2

we notice that both sides of the equation are identical. So substitute y with any value and the equation would still be correct.

y has infinite solutions.
