19 quantities of item A and 6 of item B were sold, respectively

<h3>How to determine the quantity sold</h3><h3>The missing information in the question are</h3>

Using the information and the given parameters, we have the following system of equations:

A + B = 25

4A + 2B = 88

Multiply the first equation by 2

2A + 2B = 50

Subtract this equation from the second equation to eliminate B

2A = 38

Divide both sides by 2

A = 19

Substitute A = 19 in A + B = 25

19 + B = 25

Subtract 19 from both sides

B = 6

Hence, 19 quantities of item A and 6 of item B were sold, respectively
