Answer

There are 3 Mr. Goodbars and 2 Mounds bars

Work Step by Step

g = # of Mr. Goodbars m = # of Mounds bars Total amount : g + m = 5 Fat equation 16.3g + 14. 1m = 70 + 7.1 16.3g + 14. 1m = 77.1 g + m = 5 can be written as m = 5 - g. Plug this into 16.3g + 14. 1m = 77.1 16.3g + 14. 1(5 - g) = 77.1 16.3 g + 70.5 - 14.1g = 77.1 2.2g = 6.6 g = 3 There are 3 Mr. Goodbars Plug 3 into g + m = 5 g + m = 5 5 - 3 = m 2 = m There are 2 Mounds bars
