Question 281199
What country are you in? In the USA the $ is ALWAYS first and cent sign is ALWAYS last. 
And they are never used together and we also never use the decimal with the cent sign.


.25(x) + .45(y) + 3 = 12.50 is the same as my second equation.
you started out well but forgot that the caramels and cremes total 30
a+r=30 is what I used since they both start with c
To get a profit of $3 from selling at 12.50 we need to keep the cost down to $9.50

a+r=30
25a+45r=950
a =20 r=10
a=caramels
r= cremes
