Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

  he sold 240 white chocolate bars

Answer 2

Alex sold 240 white chocolate candy bars

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to write the equations:

m+w= 330

2m+3w= 900

Then, you have to isolate one of the variables in the first equation and replace it on the second equation:

m= 330-w

2 (330-w)+3w= 900

660-2w+3w= 900

w=900-660

w= 240

The number of white chocolate candy bars that Alex sold is 240.
