Answer:

Jacob sold 25 bars - chocolates and 15 peanut butter.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jacob sold 40 candy bars.

Let the bars - chocolate be x and peanut butter be y and made $65.

Now,

x + y = 40 ...(1)

2x + y = 65 ...(2)

Now, From equation (1) we get,

x + y = 40

x = 40 - y

Now, put the value of x = 40 - y in equation (2) we get,

2x + y = 65

2(40 - y) + y = 65

80 - 2y + y = 65

y = 80 - 65

y = 15

Now, put the value of y in equation (1)

x + y = 40

x + 15 = 40

x = 40 - 15

x = 25

The bars - chocolate = x = 25 and

peanut butter = y = 15

Thus, Jacob sold 25 bars - chocolates and 15 peanut butter.
