The Booster Club president needs to order Snickers, Twix, and Jolly Ranchers for the stadium concession stand. She will order the same number of Snickers, s, as Twix, t; the number of Jolly Ranchers, J, will be five times the total of the other two types of candy; the total order will include 1,152 pieces of candy. The system representing this situation is given as: S =t j = 5(s +t) s+t +j = 1152 Which of the following can be concluded from the solution s = 96, t = 96, and j = 960? O Twix is the most popular item at the concession stand. O Snickers and Twix each sell for 96ce. O She ordered 960 Jolly Ranchers. O The Booster Club president bought a total of 96 Snickers and Twix.
