We went to the store and bought 6 giant candy bars and 2 small bags of jawbreakers and spent $13.00. My friend went to the store
and bought 4 giant candy bars and 6 small bags of jawbreakers
and spent $11.00. How much did a candy bar cost? How much did
a bag of jawbreakers cost?

Giant Candy Bar: 2$

Small Bags of Jawbreakers: .50$

Step-by-step explanation:

First you make out the equations, with the variables of c for giant candy bars and j for the small bags of jaw breakers.

First equation we make is 6c+2j=13

The second equation is 4c+6j=11.

You can then make one of the equations a negative and equal to the other. What I mean is we can use the elimination method. So I choose to do -18c+-6j=-39 (Multiplied by -3) so we can eliminate the 2 6js and get 4c=11 and -18c=-39. You then add the remaining equations together to get -14c=-28, so     c=2. Using that we can then chose an equation to substitute c with. Ill choose the first one, so you get 6(2)+2j=13. 12+2j=13; 2j=1. By simplifying, you get the jawbreakers as .50 dollars.
