The number of the gum is 13 and the number of the candy will be 22.
What is linear system?
A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.
Jane and Sophia went to the corner store where packages of gum cost 54¢ each and candy bars cost 88¢ each.
They spent $26.38 total and bought 35 items total.
Let x be the number of the gum and y be the number of the candy.
Then the equation will be
x + y = 35 ...1
0.54x + 0.88y = 26.38 ...2
By solving the equations 1 and 2, then we have
x = 13 and y = 22
Then the number of the gum is 13 and the number of the candy will be 22.
