Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The number of number of bags of snacks = m = 176The number of beverages supplied = m + 19 = 176 +9 = 185Step-by-step explanation:Let us assume the number of bags of snacks = mSo, the number of beverages supplied = m + 19Total number of items supplied = 371⇒ Number of (snacks + beverages) supplied= 371⇒ m + (m +19) = 371or, 2 m = 371 - 19 = 352or, m = 352 / 2 = 176 ⇒ m = 176Hence the number of number of bags of snacks = m = 176So, the number of beverages supplied = m + 19 = 176 +9 = 185
