Penelope is raising money for a school trip by selling candy bars and lollipops. The price of each candy bar is $2 and the price of each lollipop is $1. Yesterday Penelope made $43 from selling a total of 30 candy bars and lollipops. Determine the number of candy bars sold and the number of lollipops sold.
Answers
Answer:
number of candy bar=13
number of lollipops=17
Step-by-step explanation:
no of lollipops = x; no of candy bars=y
2y+x=43;
x+y=30;
solving two equations y=13, x=17
The number of candy bars sold and the number of lollipops sold are 13 and 17 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the no. of candy bars and y be the no. of lollipops
Price of 1 candy bar = $2
Price of x candy bar = 2x
Price of 1 lollipop = $1
Price of y lollipop = y
Penelope made $43 from selling a total of 30 candy bars
So, x+y = 30 -- A
2x+y = 43 --B
Substitute the value of x from A in B
2(30-y)+y = 43
60-2y+y = 43
60-43 = y
17=y
Substitute the value of y in A
x+17 = 30
x = 13
Hence the number of candy bars sold and the number of lollipops sold are 13 and 17 respectively.
