Kory bought 2 boxes of candy and 1 soda = cost $8.00
Christopher bought 1 box of candy and 1 soda = cost $5.00
So, Christopher bought only 1 box of candy that's why the cost of there items is less then the kory and he didn't bought only 1 box
We find the cost for 1 box of candy = 8.00$ - 5.50$ = 2.5$
Now the Price for 1 candy box is = 2.5$ and for two candy box price is = 2.5 * 2 = 5$
So, now we find the price of 1 soda : $8.00 - $5.00 = $3.00
1 box of candy price is = 2.5$
1 Soda price is = 3.00$
