    2.3x + 1.23y = 23

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The bag of chips is x because it is getting multiplied by 2.3.

    The candy is y because it is getting multiplied by 1.23.

    The reason they equal 23 is to figure out the maximum amount of each snack you can get without going over the money limit.
