    The number of Snapple's sold = 33

    The number of monsters sold = 36

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume, the number of Snapple's sold = m

    So, the number of monsters sold = Number of Snapple's + 3 = m + 3

    Now, the cost of 1 Snapple's = $1.75

    So, the cost of m Snapple's = m x (cost of 1 Snapple's) = m x ($1.75)

    = 1.75 m

    Now, the cost of 1 monster = $2.50

    So, the cost of (m + 3) monsters = (m + 3) x (cost of 1 monsters)

    = (m+3) x ($2.50) = 2.5 m + 7.5

    So, total cost of (m Snapple's + (m + 3) monsters) = 1.75 m + 2.5 m + 7.5

    = 4.25 m + 7.5

    Also, the total revenue generated = $147.75

    ⇒ 4.25 m + 7.5 = $147.75

    or, 4.25 m = 147.75 - 7.5 = 140.25

    so, m = 140.25/4.25 = 33

    Hence, the number of Snapple's sold = m = 33

    And, the number of monsters sold = m + 3 = 33 + 3 = 36
