John spent a total of $58.
How many more bags of Snickers than Milky Way bars did John purchase?

Respuesta :

Answer:

John bought 2 Snickers bags and 10 Milky Way bags.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be number of Snickers bags. Let y be number of Milky Way bags.

Systems of Equations:

4x+5y=58

x+y=12

4x+5y=58

y=-x+12

4x+5(-x+12)=58

4x-5x+60=58

-x=-2

x=2

12-2=10
