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: there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.

step-by-step explanation:

let the total number of pages in the book which olive has already read be x.

then if olive has 184 pages left to read, then the total number of pages are in olive's book= pages she has read+pages she has left to read

therefore, the total number of pages in olivia's book=

hence, there are x+184 pages in olivia's book.
