Answer:

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the number of candy bars ready to sell

y be the number of chips ready to sell

According to given statement;

x+y=575     Eqn 1

x+0.5y= 500     Eqn 2

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 1

(x+y)-(x+0.5y)=575-500

x+y-x-0.5y=75

0.5y = 75

Dividing both sides by 0.5

\frac{0.5y}{0.5}=\frac{75}{0.5}\\y=150

Putting y=150 in Eqn 1

x+150 = 575

x = 575-150

x = 425

Hence,

They have 425 candy bars ready to sell.
