Let L and C be the unit price of the lollipops and the chocolate bars respectively. Then:
6L + 4C = $5.10 and
4L + 7C = $6.65
There are various ways in which we could solve this system of linear equations. I've used matrices on my TI-83 calculator:
L = $0.35 and C = $0.75
The total cost of his purchase is 2($0.35)+7($0.75) = $5.95.
