Answer 1

Explanation:

Let us represent

Boxed candles = x

Bag of chips = y

Rafael got 3 boxed candies and 1 bag of chips for $6.99.

3x + y = 6.99....Equation1

His sister got 2 bags of chips and 1 boxed candy for $5.98.

x + 2y = 5.98......Equation 2

Find the cost for 1 of each of these items in dollars.
