Question

Alice sold candy for a school fundraiser. Chocolate bars sold for$2.25 a piece, bags of chocolate covered peanuts sold for$1.85 a piece, and lollipops sold for$.50 each. Amy made$47.45 in all. If she sold 9 chocolate bars, and 10 lollipops how many bags of peanuts did she sell?

Answer 1

12 bags

Explanation:

2.25 × 9 = 20.25

.50 × 10 = 5

20.25 + 5 = 25.25

47.45 - 25.25= 22.2

22.2 ÷ 1.85 = 12
