Answer 1

answer:

bubble gum costs $0.15 and fudge costs $1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to set up a systems of equation.

call cost of fudge "f' and call cost of bubble gum "b". Chase's purchase proves 5.70=5f+3b. Sara's purchase tells us that 3.60=2f+10b. you can solve with substitution or elimination
