Answer:
Number of brownies = 30
Number of cookies = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Cost of each brownie = $2
Cost of each cookie = $1.5
Total number of treats = 45
Total amount = $82.50
Find:
Number of cookies and brownie
Computation:
Assume;
Number of brownies = b
Number of cookies = c
So,
b + c = 45........eq1
2b + 1.5c = 82.50...........eq2
Eq1 x 2
2b + 2c = 90 ..................eq3
Eq 3 - Eq 1
0.5c = 7.5
c = 7.5 / 0.5
Number of cookies = 15
Number of brownies = 45 - Number of cookies
Number of brownies = 45 - 15
Number of brownies = 30
