The drama club sold bags of candy and cookies to raise money for the spring show. Bags of candy cost $8.50, and bags of cookies cost $4.50, and sales equaled $79.00 in total. There were 6 more bags of cookies than candy sold.

Find the number of bags of candy and cookies sold by the drama club. Show your work.

Sagot :

The bags of candy that was sold is 6

The bags of cookies that was sold is 10.

What are the linear equations that represent the question?

$8.50c + $4.50o = 79 equation 1

o - c = 6

o = 6 + c  equation 2

Where:

  • o = bags of cookies sold
  • c = bags of candies sold

How many  bags of candy and cookies were sold?

Substitute for o in equation 1 using equation 2

$8.50c + $4.50(6 + c) = 79

$8.50c + 27 + 4.50c = 79

$8.50c + 4.50c = 79 - 27

$13c = 52

c = 52 / 13

c = 4

Substitute for c in equation 2

0 = 6 + 4 = 10
