Scenario:


Charlie the Chocolatier mixed chocolate chips and pretzels to create 36 pounds of his holiday blend that sells for $6.00 per pound. The chocolate chips cost $7.00 per pound and the pretzels cost $4.00 per pound. How many pounds of each did he use?


Sagot :

Answer:

x + y = 36 (1)

7x + 4y = 216 (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Quanrity of Holiday blend = 36 pounds

Cost per pound of the blend = $6.00

Cost of chocolate chips = $7.00 per pound

Cost of pretzels = $4.00 per pound

Let

Pounds of chocolate chips = x

Pounds of pretzels = y

x + y = 36 (1)

7x + 4y = 36 × $6.00

7x + 4y = 216 (2)

The system of equation is

x + y = 36 (1)

7x + 4y = 216 (2)
