Question

11) Macy and Jonah are buying pop and chips for a party. They buy a total of 8 items at the story. A bottle of pop costs $3 and a bag of chips costs $4. They spent a total of $30 at the story. How many bottles of pop and bags of chips did they buy?​

Answer 1

2 pops, 6 chips

Explanation:

4 - 3= 1 (difference)

if 8 items are chips,

8 x 4 = 32

32 - 30 = 2

so there should be 2 pops and 6 chips as if we change a chips into pops the difference will reduce by 1
