Sharvay spends $15 to buy 17 pieces of candy. M&M’s cost $0.75 and candy bars cost $1. How many M&M’s and candy bars did Sharvay buy?

8 M&Ms and 9 Candy Bars

Step-by-step explanation:

$15 dollars could buy 15 candy bars, and there are 17 pieces of candy total.

Prioritizing the number of bars:

0.75 * 2 = 1.50

1.50 * 2 = 3

At least $3 were spend on M&Ms, meaning 4 M&Ms and 12 candy bars, which is only 16 candy pieces...

8 M&Ms and 9 candy bars is equivalent to 17 total candy pieces.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18

total amount to be paid = $19.5

step-by-step explanation:

given ,

original price = $25.99

discount = 25%

discount amount = 25% of original price

discount amount = 25/100   * 25.99

discount amount = $6.49

hence , the total amount to be paid = original price - discount amount

                                                            = $25.99 - $6.49

                                                            =$19.5

total amount to be paid = $19.5
