Alright, so if x is the amount of beverages sold, and b is the amount of candy sold, what could you change A, B and C to to represent the prices adding up?

OpenStudy (lord_box):

y is the amount of candy sold*

OpenStudy (lord_box):

HINT:1.48 times the amount of beverage sold + 1.64 times the amount of candy sold = 231.64
