4P = 200 - 3C
3C + 7P = 260
3C + 7*(200-3C)/4 = 260
Solve for C.
3C + 7P = 260
3C + 7*(200-3C)/4 = 260
Solve for C.

x = weight of a chocolate bar
y = weight of a candy bar
Solve system of equations:
3 x + 7 y = 260
-
3 x + 4 y = 200
____________
3 y = 60
y = 60 / 3 = 20 g
3 x + 4 y = 200
3 x + 4 ∙ 20 = 200
3 x + 80 = 200
3 x = 200 - 80
3 x = 120
x = 120 / 3 = 40
The weight of a chocolate bar = 40 g
y = weight of a candy bar
Solve system of equations:
3 x + 7 y = 260
-
3 x + 4 y = 200
____________
3 y = 60
y = 60 / 3 = 20 g
3 x + 4 y = 200
3 x + 4 ∙ 20 = 200
3 x + 80 = 200
3 x = 200 - 80
3 x = 120
x = 120 / 3 = 40
The weight of a chocolate bar = 40 g
