Let's call x each bag of M&M, and y each bottle of water. If they cost $10.75, we can express the following
[tex]4x+y=10.75[/tex]If the bottle of water costs $1.75, then we can replace it to find x
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+1.75=10.75 \\ 4x=10.75-1.75 \\ 4x=9 \\ x=\frac{9}{4}=2.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]
