Ariel bought several bags of caramel candy and several bags of taffy. The number of bags of taffy was more than the number of bags of caramels. Taffy bags weigh ounces each, and caramel bags weigh ounces each. The total weight of all the bags of candy was ounces. How many bags of candy did she buy? Renard lets the number of taffy bags and the number of caramel bags. Help him write two equations to represent the information in the problem. Now Renard is stuck. He says, “If both of the equations were in the form ‘ something’, I could set the two expressions equal to each other to find the solution.” Help him rewrite the equations into a form he can use to solve the problem. Solve Renard’s system of equations to find the number of bags of caramel and number of bags of taffy that Ariel bought. How you can verify that your solution is correct?
