Austin is raising money for a school trip by selling fruit snacks and candy bars. the price of each fruit snack is $1 and the price of each candy bar is $2. yesterday austin made $32 and he sold twice as many fruit snacks as candy bars. determine the number of fruit snacks sold and the number of candy bars sold.

16 number of fruit snacks and 8 number of candy bars were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of each fruit snack is $1 and the price of each candy bar is $2.

Let yesterday Austin sold x number of fruit snacks and y number of candy bars.

Now, given that, yesterday Austin made $32 and he sold twice as many fruit snacks as candy bars.

So, x = 2y (1)

And, x + 2y = 32 (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, 4y = 32

⇒ y = 8

And from equation (1) we get,

x = 2y = 16

Therefore, 16 number of fruit snacks and 8 number of candy bars were sold. (Answer)
