To Find :
The number of packages of erasers and pencils that were sold .
Solution :
Let, number of erasers are x and pencils are y.
So, x + y = 220 ....1
Also, 2x + 5y = 695 ....2
Solving equation 1 and 2, we get :
x = 220 - 85 = 135
Therefore, the number of packages of erasers and pencils that were sold are 135 and 85 respectively.
Hence, this is the required solution.
