Question

Elizabeth bought $5.00 worth of candy at the convenience store. She bought ten more 6-cent salt-water taffies than 10-cent taffies. She bought three times as many of 8-cent taffies as 10-cent taffies. She also bought two 20-cent sugar candies. How many of each kind did Elizabeth buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 20 6-cents, 30 8-cents, 10 10-cents and 2 20- cents

Explanation:

6 cent = x+10

10 cent= x

8 cent= 3x

20 cent=2

6x+60+10x+24x+40

400 divided by 40=X

x=10.

10+10=20/ 6 cents

3x10=30/ 8 cents

x=10/ 10 cents

20 cents= 2.
