We are told that the number of total items in Miriam's prize bags are the same as the total items in Luz's prize bags. First, we calculate the number of items in Miriam's bags. 5 toys + 4 snacks = 9 items in each bag. There are 4 bags, so there are a total of 4 * 9 = 36 items in Miriam's bags. Now, we will let the number of snacks in Luz's prize bags be represented by s. We can form the equation
36 = 3*6 + 3s
by adding the total toys and snacks.
Solving for s, we get
36 = 18 + 3s
3s = 18
s = 6
There are 6 healthy snacks in each of Luz's prize bags.
