The football club sold bags of candy and cookies to raise money for the spring show. Bags of candy cost $6.00 , and bags of cookies cost $4
, and sales equaled $40
in total. There were 3 more bags of cookies than candy sold.
Find the number of bags of candy and cookies sold by the football club.

Candy=x=2.8 bags

Cookies=3+2.8=5.8 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Price

Bag of candy=$6.00

Bag of cookies=$4

Total sales=$40

Quantity

Let cookies=y=3+x

Let candy=x

There are 3 more bag of cookies than candy sold

Total sales=price*quantity of x + price*quantity of y

40=$4*(3+x) + 6*x

40=12+4x+6x

40=12+10x

40-12=10x

28=10x

X=28/10

x=2.8 bags

the correct answer is 828.07

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
