Answer:
Jenna sold 280 boxes, Becca sold 105 boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:
For every 3 boxes B sold, J sold 8 boxes and ended with a total of 385 boxes sold.
3b+8j=385
From how the question is asked, we can assume that each round of sales would equal 11 total sales. (3b+8j=11)
Knowing the sales take place in intervals of 11, we can solve the problem by doing 385/11.
385/11=35
Finally, with 35 rounds of sales happening and knowing Jenna sells 8 while Becca sells 3 at each one, all that's left to do is multiply.
8x35=280
3x35=105
To be sure we can check our answer by adding them together, 280+105=385.
