Jacqui is selling scented candles as a fundraiser for a school field trip. Each cinnamon candle sells for $3.50 and each chocolate candle sells for $2.50. She raised a total of $94.50 for the trip. The number of chocolate candles that Jacqui sold is three less than twice the number of cinnamon candles. Let c represent the number of chocolate candles and let m represent the number of cinnamon candles. How many chocolate candles did Jacqui sell?

Number of cinammon = 12

Number of chocolate = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of Cinnamon candle , c = $3.50

Cost of chocolate candle , d = $2.50

Total amount raised, T = $94.50

d = 2c - 3

Total amount = (cost of Cinnamon * number sold) + (cost of chocolate * number sold)

94.50 = (3.50 * c) + (2.50 * (2c-3))

94.50 = 3.50c + 5c - 7.5

94.50 = 8.50c - 7.5

94.50 + 7.5 = 8.50c

102 = 8.50c

c = 102 / 8.50

c = 12

d = 2c - 3

d = 2(12) - 3

d = 24 - 3

d = 21

the camry sales+accord sale=828,000. to make it so the two numbers are 18 thousand apart and still equal 828,000, you first need to find out what half of 828,000 is. 828,000/2=414,000. for the two numbers to equal 828,000, you have to add the same amount as you subtract from the middle. in this case, the number is 9,000 because it's half of 18,000. to equal 828,000, you have to add 9,000 to 414,000 for the camry and subtract 9,000 from 414,000 for the accord. 414,000+9,000=423,000.

414,000-9,000=405,000.

423,000+405,000=828,000.

423,000-405,000=18,
