Jackson sold 27 pounds of bananas and 12 pounds of grapes.
Given that Jackson runs a farm stand that sells bananas and grapes, and each pound of bananas sells for $ 1 and each pound of grapes sells for $ 2.25, and Jackson sold 15 more pounds of bananas than pounds of grapes and made $ 54 altogether, to determine the number of pounds of bananas sold and the number of pounds of grapes sold the following calculation must be performed:
- 25 x 1 + 10 x 2.25 = 25 + 22.50 = 47.50
- 26 x 1 + 11 x 2.25 = 26 + 24.75 = 50.75
- 27 x 1 + 12 x 2.25 = 27 + 27 = 54
Therefore, Jackson sold 27 pounds of bananas and 12 pounds of grapes.

Answer:
9 and 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and second number be y hence their sum
x+y=12 ......(1)
Making x the subject theb x=12-y
Three times be first number is 3x
3x-y=24.......(2)
Adding the two sets of equations then
4x=36
X=36/4=9
The second number will be 12-9=3
So the first number is 9 and second is 3
