Question

a summer camp is organizing a hike and needs to buy granola bars for the campers. the granola bars come in small boxes and large boxes. each small box has 10 granola bars and each large box has 24 granola bars. the camp bought a total of 10 boxes that have 184 granola bars altogether. write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of small boxes purchased and the number of large boxes purchased. define the variables that you use to write the system. answer attempt 1 out of 4 let \\(\square = \\) \\(\vee\\). let \\(\square = \\) \\(\vee\\). system of equations: \\(\square\\) \\(\square\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables

Let $x$ = number of small boxes, $y$ = number of large boxes.

Step2: Total boxes equation

Total boxes = 10: $x + y = 10$

Step3: Total bars equation

Total bars = 184: $10x + 24y = 184$

Answer:

Let $x$ = number of small boxes purchased
Let $y$ = number of large boxes purchased
System of Equations:
$x + y = 10$
$10x + 24y = 184$
