Question

Mary and Kyle together sold 225 candy bars for a fund raiser. Kyle sold twice as many candy bars as Mary.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mary has 76.5, and Kyle has 178.5.

Answer 2

Answer:

Kyle sold 150 candy bars and Mary sold 75.

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation you want to use is 2x + x = 225.

the 2x is for Kyle and the x is for Mary.

then you can simplify to make it 3x = 225, divide both sides by 3 which gives you an x value of 75, and then you plug it into the original equation, which gives you:

2x + x = 2(75) + 75 = 225
