Question

Sybille makes and sells candles for her Possible Project business. Sybille sells multi-scented candles for $3 each and single-scented candles for $2 each. On Thursday evening, Sybille sold 34 candles for a total of $92.00.

Answer 1

24 multi-scented candles

10 single-scented candles

Explanation:

There was no question, so I am going to assume that you want to know how many of each type of candles were sold.

Let m = no. of multi-scented candles

s = no. of single-scented candles

(1) m + s = 34 (2) 3m + 2s = 92

s = 34 - m 3m + 2(34 - m) = 92

3m + 68 - 2m = 92

m + 68 = 92

m = 24

s = 34 - 24 = 10
