The drama club sold bags of candy and cookies to raise money for the spring show. Bags of candy cost $8.00, and bags of cookies cost $2.50, and sales equaled $33.50 in total. There were 5 more bags of cookies than candy sold. Find the number of bags of candy and cookies sold by the drama club

Number of bags of candy = 2

Number of bags of cookies = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, number of bags of candy = X

So, Number of bags of cookies = X + 5

Cost of candy bag = $8

Cost of cookies bag = $2.5

Total sales = $33.50

So, Total cost of Candy Bags + Total cost of cookies bags = Total sales

= 8X + 2.5 ( X +5) = 33.50

= 8X + 2.5X + 12.5 = 33.50

= 10.5X = 33.50 - 12.5

= 10.5X = 21

X = 2

So, number of bags of candy = 2

Number of bags of cookies = 2 + 5 = 7

answer: y = 3/2 x - 3

y = 1/8 x - 3/4 that would be your correct option
