Ava is raising money for a school trip by selling bags of chips and candy bars. The price of each bag of chips is $ 1.75 and the price of each candy bar is $ 1. Yesterday Ava made $ 26 from selling a total of 17 bags of chips and candy bars. Determine the number of bags of chips sold and the number of candy bars sold.

The number of bag of chips sold is 12 while the number of candy bar sold is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of each bag of chips is $ 1.75

The price of each candy bar is $ 1. Yesterday Ava made $ 26 from selling a total of 17 bags of chips and candy bars.

Let the number of bag of chips be x

Let the number of candy bar be y

x+y=17

$1.75x + $1y=$26

Solving simultaneously by elimination method. We eliminate y by subtracting equation 1 from Equation 2

1.75x-1x=0.75x

1y-y=0

26-17=9

0.75x=9

Divide by 0.75

0.75x/0.75=9/0.75

x=12

Substitute for x in equation 1

x+y=17

12+y=17

y=17-12

y=5

Hence the number of bag of chips is 12 while the number of candy bar is 5

22.83 repeating

step-by-step explanation:

137 ÷ 6 is 22.8333333 therefore we understand that 3 is repeating.
