Answer:

Explanation:

Nicholas has purchased 1.8 pounds of pixie sticks.

Jane has purchased 3.0 pounds of Jolly ranchers.

Explanation:

Cost of 1 pounds of pixie sticks = $4.50

Let the number of pixie sticks = x

Total money spend on x pounds of pixie sticks = $8.10

Nicholas has purchased 1.8 pounds of pixie sticks.

Cost of 1 pounds of Jolly ranchers = $3.25

Let the number of Jolly ranchers = y

Total money spend on y pounds of Jolly ranchers = $9.75

Jane has purchased 3.0 pounds of Jolly ranchers.
