    W=88

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4 * (c-66) = c

    4c-66*4=c

    3c=66*4

    c=22*4

    c=88

    w=88

    88

    Step-by-step explanation:

    c=w

    4 (c-66) = w

    4c-264=w

    4c-264=c (because c=w)

    3c-264=0

    3c=264

    c=88 cranberry bars

    w=88 walnut bars

    88+88=176 bars at first

    check: 88-66=22 and 88 is 4 times 22
