Answer: Each have to sell 91 candy bars to have the same amount of money.
Step-by-step explanation: Suppose x represents the amount of candy bars.
Team A already have $165 and they are selling each candy bar for $2. The mathematical equation that represents the amount of money they have is
A: 165 + 2x
Team B initially has $74 and will sell each candy bar for $3. Then, the mathematical equation representing their amount of money is
B: 74 + 3x
So, to have the same amount of money:
165 + 2x = 74 + 3x
x = 165 - 74
x = 91
<u>Teams A and B will have the same amount of money when each of them </u><u>sell 91 candy bars</u>.

Answer:
I believe Jamal is correct, because he is just doing it an easy way. Instead of converting the mixed number to an improper fraction he is adding the measurements step by step.
Hope it Helps!

Say x is the number of weeks until their money is equal. Then, we can set up an equation.
400 + 25x = 250 + 75x
Subtract 250 from both sides
150 + 25x = 75x
Subtract 25x from both sides
150 = 50x
Divide by 50 on both sides
3 = x
That means the answer is 3 weeks.
