Erika $21
3k of cinnamon
1g of gummies
Irene $39
3k of cinnamon
3k of gummies
c= cost of 1 kilogram of cinnamon
g= cost of 1 kilogram of gummies
Erika's Equation
3c + 1g= $21
Irene's Equation
3c + 3g= $39
Solve for one variable in equation one and substitute it in the other equation.
3c + 1g= 21
subtract 3c from both sides
g= 21 - 3c
Substitute g=21 - 3c in equation
3c + 3g= $39
3c + 3 (21 - 3c)= 39
multiply all in parentheses
3c + 63 - 9c= 39
63 - 6c= 39
subtract 63 from both sides
-6c= -24
c= $4
Substitute c=4 in equation to find g
3c + g= 21
3(4) + g= 21
12 + g= 21
subtract 12 from both sides
g= $9
ANSWER: The price of 1 kilogram of cinnamon red hots is $4. The cost of 1 kilogram of gummies is $9.
Hope this helps! :)
