Answer: Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy bar

Step-by-step explanation:Given as :

The money which Stephon has in his pocket = $ 12

The cost of one chips bag = $ 2.25

The cost of one candy bar = $ 1.50

The total number of items he can buy = 6

So, Let the number of chips bag he can buy = x

∴ The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - x

Now, according to question

The number of chips bag×The cost of one chips bag + The number of candy bar×The cost of one candy bar = $ 12

Or, x × $ 2.25 + (6-x) × $ 1.50 = $ 12

Or,  x × $ 2.25 + 9 -  x × $ 1.50 = $ 12

or,  x × $ 0.75 = 12 - 9

or, x =  = 4

The number of chips bag he can buy = x = 4

And The number of candy bar he can buy = 6 - x = 6 - 4 = 2

Hence Stephon can buy total 4 chips bag and 2 candy bar .

How to solve simultaneous equations?

Let the number of bags of chips bought be x

Let the number of candy bars bought be y.

Thus;

x + y = 6    ------(eq 2)

2.25x + 1.5y = 12   -----(eq 1)

From eq 1, we have;

x = 6 - y    -----(eq 3)

Thus;

2.25(6 - y) + 1.5y = 12

13.5 - 2.25y + 1.5y = 12

0.75y = 1.5

y = 2

Thus, x = 4
