You have 75 to spend on refreshments for a party Large bags

You have $75 to spend on refreshments for a party. Large bags of chips cost $2.50 and sodas cost $0.50. You need to buy exactly five as many sodas as bogs of chips. How many bags of chips and how many sodas can you buy? 16.67 45

Solution

Let bags of chips bought = x

Then, no. of sodas= 5x

Total cost= 2.50x + 5x(0.50)=75

5x=75

x=15

Thus, bags of chips= 15

Sodas= 5*15= 75
