The number of bags of chips sold was 20 and the number of fruit snacks sold was 5.

Given that,

The price of each bag of chips is $1.75 and the price of each fruit snack is $1.50. Yesterday Penelope made $42.50 and sold 15 more bags of chips than fruit snacks. Here we assume x be the number of bags of chips sold  and y be the number of fruit snacks sold.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

1.75x + 1.50y = 42.50

x = y + 15

Now put x value to the above equation

1.75(y + 15) + 1.50y = 42.50

1.75y  + 26.25 + 1.50y = 42.50

3.25y = 16.25

y = 5

So, x = 5 + 15 = 20

Cost of 7 gallons=$24.50

Cost of 1 gallon=24.50/7=3.5

Cost of 15 gallons=15*3.5=52.5

Cost of 15 gallons will be $52.5

Speed=Distance/time

Here,

distance=15m

time=1sec

speed=15/1=15m/sec

Distance=Speed*time

time=15min=15*60sec=900sec

Distance travelled in 15 min=15*900=13,500m

=13500/1000 km=13.5Km
