"You put 8 candles"
T+P+J=8
"costing a total of $24 "
1T+4P+6J = 24
"as many tapers as pillars and jar candles combined"
T=P+J
T+P+J=8
"costing a total of $24 "
1T+4P+6J = 24
"as many tapers as pillars and jar candles combined"
T=P+J

I know this was posted when I was 4 years old but this was on my math homework and by using elimination the final answer would be 4 tapers, 2 pillars, and 2 jar candles.
