Answer: Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy bar
Step-by-step explanation:Given as :
The money which Stephon has in his pocket = $ 12
The cost of one chips bag = $ 2.25
The cost of one candy bar = $ 1.50
The total number of items he can buy = 6
So, Let the number of chips bag he can buy = x
∴ The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - x
Now, according to question
The number of chips bag×The cost of one chips bag + The number of candy bar×The cost of one candy bar = $ 12
Or, x × $ 2.25 + (6-x) × $ 1.50 = $ 12
Or, x × $ 2.25 + 9 - x × $ 1.50 = $ 12
or, x × $ 0.75 = 12 - 9
or, x = = 4
The number of chips bag he can buy = x = 4
And The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - x = 6 - 4 = 2
Hence Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy bar .
