Variables

S = snickers

R = reece

Equations


\begin{gathered} S+2R=737 \\ 2S+R=778 \end{gathered}

Then, we solve the system of equations:


\begin{gathered} S+2R-2R=737-2R \\ S=737-2R \end{gathered}

Substitute S:


2\left(737-2R\right)+R=778

Simplify:


\begin{gathered} 1474-4R+R=778 \\ 1474-3R=778 \end{gathered}

Solve for R:


\begin{gathered} 1474-3R-1474=778-1474 \\ -3R=-696 \\ (-3R)/(-3)=(-696)/(-3) \\ R=232 \end{gathered}

Substitute R = 232 in S:


S=737-2(232)=737-464=273

Answer:

Snickers bar: 273 calories

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup: 232 calories
