PLEASE HELP!! A claw arcade machine contains stuffed animals and mystery boxes. There are 72 items in the machine. Winning a stuffed animal has twice as many favorable outcomes as winning a mystery box. How many of each item is in the machine?

50 stuffed animals and 22 mystery boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of stuffed animals be x and the number of mystery boxes is y

The probability of selecting a stuffed animal is x/72 while the probability is selecting a mystery box is y/72

Now, since the total probability can be 1:

This means that

x/72 + y/72 = 1 •••••••(i)
