Question

Ethan bought some chips and pop for his class party. He bought a total of 29 items. Each bag of chips cost $0.79 and each bottle of pop cost $2.29. He spent a total of $36.41. How many bags if chips and how many bottles of pop did he buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number of bags of chips be x.

So, number of bottles of pops is 29-x.

Accordingly, 0.79x + 2.29(29 - x) = 36.41

=>  1.5x = 30

=> x = 20

Answer- Bags of chips = 20 and bottles of pops = 9
