You are going to the grocery to buy the candies for you and your sisters/brothers. You want to buy
chocolates and gums. Each chocolate costs 1.50 AED and each gum costs 0.50 AED. At the end you spent a total
of 78.50 AED. You bought a total of 87 chocolates and gums combined. You must report the number of
chocolates bought and the number of gums bought. How many chocolates were bought and how many gums
were bought?

35 chocolates were bought and 52 gums were bought.

Step-by-step explanation:

c + g = 87    where c is the number of chocolate and g is the number og gums

1.50c + 0.50g = 78.50    solve both equations by elimination.

-1.50c - 1.50g =  -130.5

1.50   + 0.50g = 78.50

           -1g =  -52

             g= 52

1.50c + 0.50(52) = 78.50

 1.50c + 26 = 78.50

             -26     -26

1.50c = 52.5

c = 35
