Solution

First, we need to find out the price of one bag of each type of chips.

  1. To find the price of one bag of potato chips, we divide the total cost of the potato chips by the number of bags. So, 71.28÷6=71.28 ÷ 6 = 11.88 per bag of potato chips.

  2. To find the price of one bag of corn chips, we divide the total cost of the corn chips by the number of bags. So, 59.15÷5=59.15 ÷ 5 = 11.83 per bag of corn chips.

  3. To find out how much it would be for one bag of potato chips and one bag of corn chips purchased together, we add the price of one bag of each type of chips. So, 11.88+11.88 + 11.83 = $23.71.

Therefore, one bag of potato chips and one bag of corn chips purchased together would cost $23.71.
