The Drink cost $1.75 each, and candy bars cost $0.75 each.

let

The price of a drink = x

The price of a candy bar = y

Bart total purchase

Claudia total purchase

The cost of each can be calculated by combining the equations. Therefore,

2x + 2y = 5

x + 4y = 4.75

x = 4.75 - 4y

2(4.75 - 4y) + 2y = 5

9.5 - 8y + 2y = 5

9.5 - 6y = 5

-6y = -4.5

y = -4.5/-6

y = 0.75

2(0.75) + 2x = 5

1.5 + 2x = 5

2x = 5 - 1.5

2x = 3.5

x = 3.5/2

x = 1.75

Cost of a drink = $1.75

Cost of a candy bars = $0.75
