please show working :)

Answer 1

The amount of money Kyle paid is $25.

Determine the price of nachos and chocolates

Two simultaneous equations can be derived from the question:

3n + 3c = $45 equation 1

n = 2c equation 2

Where:

• n = price of nachos
• c = price of chocolate

In order to determine the price of chocolates, please substitute for n in equation 1.

3(2c) + 3c = $45

6c + 3c = $45

9c = $45

c = $45/9 = $5

In order to determine the price of nachos, please substitute for c in equation 2:

n = 2($5)

n = $10

Amount Kyle paid

2($10) + $5

$20 + $5

= $25
