    16 number of fruit snacks and 8 number of candy bars were sold.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The price of each fruit snack is $1 and the price of each candy bar is $2.

    Let yesterday Austin sold x number of fruit snacks and y number of candy bars.

    Now, given that, yesterday Austin made $32 and he sold twice as many fruit snacks as candy bars.

    So, x = 2y ... (1)

    And, x + 2y = 32 ... (2)

    Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get, 4y = 32

    ⇒ y = 8

    And from equation (1) we get,

    x = 2y = 16

    Therefore, 16 number of fruit snacks and 8 number of candy bars were sold. (Answer)
