Answer 4

That doesn't help me at all..

Answer 5

Let peanut butter bars sold be x lb
cost of it 25¢ per lb. = 25x

Then chocolate bars sold = (260 – x)
cost 30¢ per lb = 30(260 – x)

total cost = 25x + 30(260 – x) = 7100
25x + 7800 – 30x = 71
5x = 700
x = 140 -------- peanut butter bars
260 – 140 = 120 chocolate bars
