    The number of bottles of soda purchased is 10 and the number of bottles of juice purchased is 4.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us consider the soda bottles as x and juice bottles as y.

    From the given data we can derive 2 equations,

    35x+15y = 410 ... (1)

    x=y+6 ... (2)

    Substitute equation (2) in (1),

    35 (y+6) + 15y=410.

    35y + 210+15y=410.

    50y+210=410.

    50y=410-210.

    50y=200.

    y=4.

    Substitute y value in equation (2),

    x=4+6.

    x=10.

    The number of bottles of soda purchased is 10 and the number of bottles of juice purchased is 4.
