The environmental club at Paul sells gum and candy bars as a fundraiser. One afternoon, they sold $200 worth of candy. They need to report how many of each item they sold for their club records. Maura knows that they sold 295 items that day. Candy bars sell for 75 cents, and gum sells for 50 cents. How many candy bars and gums did Paul sell?

Answer:

210 candy bars

85 gum

Step-by-step explanation:

$200=0.75cb+0.50gum

cb+gum=295

gum=295-cb

substitute

$200=0.75cb+0.50(295-cb)

$200=0.75cb+147.5-0.50cb

$200=0.25cb+147.5

0.25cb=52.5

cb=210

gum=295-210=85
