Answer:
26 candy bars and 12 sodas
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved by a simple system of equations
I am going to call x the number of candy bars that Sally bought and y the number of sodas that Sally bought.
The fact that she bought 38 itens means the x + y = 38.
She spent $50.38. The value she spent is the sum of the number of candy bars multplied by the value of the candy bar and the number of sodas multiplied by value of a soda. So 1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38
So we have to solve the following system:
1)x + y = 38
2)1.25x + 1.49y = 50.38
From 1), we have that x = 38 - y. I am going to replace it in 2)
1.25(38-y) + 1.49y = 50.38
-1.25y + 1.49y = 50.38 - 47.5
0.24y = 2.88
y = 12.
Sally bought 12 sodas.
In 1: x = 38-y = 38-12 = 26
Sally bourght 26 candy bars
5 + 5 = 10

subtraction property of equality
X = 4
EXPLANATION:
45/60 can be simplified by dividing both 45 and 60 by the same number.
We already know the numerator is 3.
so we have to do the equation 45 divided by 3. which is 15.
so now we do 60 divided by 15 to find x.
So x = 4
