Answer:

The number of number of bags of snacks = m  = 176

The number of beverages supplied = m + 19  = 176 +9 = 185

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number of bags of snacks = m

So, the number of beverages supplied = m + 19

Total number of items supplied  =  371

⇒ Number of (snacks + beverages) supplied=  371

⇒   m + (m +19)  = 371

or, 2 m = 371 - 19 =  352

or, m =  352 / 2 = 176  

⇒  m  = 176

Hence the number of number of bags of snacks = m  = 176

So, the number of beverages supplied = m + 19  = 176 +9 = 185
