Answer:
Hence candy = $0.55 and soda= $0.48
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
Travis bought 6 candy bars and 2 sodas for $4.88
6x+2y= 4.88------------1
Beth bought 2 candy bars and 3 sodas for $3.47
2x+3y= 3.47----------2
solve 1 and 2
6x+2y= 4.88------------1x 3
2x+3y= 3.47----------2 X 2
18x+6y=14.64
- 4x+6y= 6.94
14x=7.7
divide both sides by 14
x= 7.7/14
x=$0.55
put x= 0.55 in 1
6(0.55)+2y= 4.88------------1
3.3+2y= 4.88
3.3y= 4.88-3.3
3.3y=1.58
y=1.58/3.3
y=$0.48
