Answer:
96 bags of popcorn and 48 pretzels
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of bags of popcorn sold
y ----> the number of pretzels sold
we know that
2.50x+2y=336 ----> equation A
x=2y ---> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
2.50(2y)+2y=336
5y+2y=336
7y=336
y=48 pretzels
Find the value of x
x=2(48)=96 bags of popcorn
