Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy barGiven as :The money which Stephon has in his pocket = $ 12The cost of one chips bag = $ 2.25The cost of one candy bar = $ 1.50The total number of items he can buy = 6So, Let the number of chips bag he can buy = x∴ The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - xNow, according to questionThe number of chips bag×The cost of one chips bag + The number of candy bar×The cost of one candy bar = $ 12Or, x × $ 2.25 + (6-x) × $ 1.50 = $ 12Or, x × $ 2.25 + 9 - x × $ 1.50 = $ 12or, x × $ 0.75 = 12 - 9or, x = = 4The number of chips bag he can buy = x = 4And The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - x = 6 - 4 = 2Hence Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy bar .
