How many toy cars were in the jar?

Unscramble the following four anagrams then find the missing letter that
completes each word. The missing letter is the same letter for each word.

I doubt you'd want it; that cookie's probably getting stale by now.

Here's how I got it:

x is easter eggs, y is bunny-chans.  The rest is just simple substitution.  I probably did it really stupidly though ^_^

7x+5y=110  
5x+7y=120.6
12x+12y=230.6
x+y=19.2167

5x+5y=96.083
2x=13.917
x=6.9585
7x=48.7095
5y=61.2905
30y=367.743
