Mike and his friends bought cheese wafers for $2 per packet and chocolate wafers for $1 per packet at a carnival. They spent a total of $25 to buy a total of 20 packets of wafers of the two varieties. Part A: Write a system of equations that can be solved to find the number of packets of cheese wafers and the number of packets of chocolate wafers that Mike and his friends bought at the carnival. Define the variables used in the equations. (5 points) Part B: How many packets of chocolate wafers and cheese wafers did they buy? Explain how you got the answer and why you selected a particular method to get the answer. (5 points)

Let's take C = chocolate wafers and W = chocolate wafers we know that the sum must equal 20 right \[C+W = 20\]

OpenStudy (taylarm7):

yes

OpenStudy (photon336):

\[2$C + 1$W = $25\]

OpenStudy (taylarm7):

do I just solve now? @Photon336

OpenStudy (photon336):

yeah do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (taylarm7):

yes

OpenStudy (taylarm7):

thanks
