Sagot :

Answer:

Number of brownies = 30

Number of cookies = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of each brownie = $2

Cost of each cookie = $1.5

Total number of treats = 45

Total amount = $82.50

Find:

Number of cookies and brownie

Computation:

Assume;

Number of brownies = b

Number of cookies = c

So,

b + c = 45........eq1

2b + 1.5c = 82.50...........eq2

Eq1 x 2

2b + 2c = 90 ..................eq3

Eq 3 - Eq 1

0.5c = 7.5

c = 7.5 / 0.5

Number of cookies = 15

Number of brownies = 45 - Number of cookies

Number of brownies = 45 - 15

Number of brownies = 30
