$7. How much does a bag of chips cost? How much does a soda cost?

Answer 1

Answer: Each bag of chips is $0.25, each soda is $0.75.

(0.25 x 8) + (0.75 x 4) = 5

2 + 3 = 5

(0.25 x 4) + (0.75 x 8) = 7

1 + 6 = 7

Answer 2

let x be chips and y be sodas

8x + 4y = 5 ---> for the first hint

4x + 8y = 7------> second hint

0.25 cents is how much chips costs

and 0.75 cents is how much sodas costs
