Answer 1

Answer:

candy  $4.25   drink  $4

Step-by-step explanation:

ELIMINATION METHOD:

d= drink   c= candy

2d+5c= 29.25

8d+7c=61.75

 MULYIPLY THE FIRST BY -4

-8d -40c = -117

8d+7c = 61.75

ADD BOTH (d is cancelled)

-13c = -55.25

c= 4.25  1 candy is $4.25   5 candy= 21.25

2d + 21.25 = 29.25

2d= 8

d= 4      1 drink   = $4

Answer 2

the answer is the candy is $4.25 and the drink costs $4
