Answer:

They bought 6 vanilla wafers and 21 chocolate, they add up to 27.

x = amount of vanilla wafers

y = amount of chocolate wafers.

4x+y = 45

x+y= 27

Explanation:

x = amount of vanilla wafers

y = amount of chocolate wafers

Vanilla wafers = 4$ each

Chocolate wafers = 1$ each.

So, 4x+y = 45 and x+y= 27 because they spent 47$ on 27 packs.

With both equations we can substitute.

1. Change one equation so one variable is on one side

x+y = 27 to y = 27-x

2. Substitute the variable from the other equation.

4x+y = 45 to 4x+27-x = 45

3. Solve the equation for x.

4x+27-x = 45

3x+27 = 45

3x = 18

x = 6 (amount of vanilla wafers)

4. substitute with equation.

y = 27-x to y = 27-6

5. Solve the equation for y.

y = 27-6

y = 21 (amount of chocolate wafers)
