Answer:

tall candles = 39

Short candles = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

let tall candles be x

and short candles be y

No. Of candles sold = x + y =91

Money made from candles will be equal to = 8x + 5y = $572

These both are simultaneous linear equations.

x + y =91 ( multiply by 5)

5x + 5y = 455

8x + 5y = $572

Subtract them:

-3x = -117

x = -117/3

x = 39

put value of x in

x + y = 91

39 + y = 91

y = 91 - 39

y = 52

x shows tall candles so they are 39

y shows short candles so they are 52
