Answer:number of cupcakes sold is 13

Number of cookies sold is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cupcakes that Jane sold.

Let y represent the number of cookies that Jane sold.

Each cupcake sold for $2.25 and each cookie sold for $0.50. At the end of the day, Jean had sold $42.75 worth of cookies and cupcakes.

This means that

2.25x + 0.5y = 42.75 - - - - - - - - - -1

she sold 40 cupcakes and cookies combined, it means that

x + y = 40

Substituting x = 40 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.25(40 - y) + 0.5y = 42.75

90 - 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75

- 2.25y + 0.5y = 42.75 - 90

- 1.75y = - 47.25

y = - 47.35/-1.75

y = 27

x = 40 - y

x = 40-27 = 13

Collins is working.......
lesya [120]
Let n represent the amount Colin earned on Sunday.

On Sat. he earned n/2; on Sun. he earned n; and on Friday he earned (1/2)(n/2).

Then n/2  +  n  + n/4 = $70

Mult. all terms by 4 to eliminate fractions:

2n + 4n + n = $280

7n = $280  =>  n = $40

Colin earned n/2, or $20, on Saturday; n, or $40, on Sunday; and n/4, or $10, on Friday.

Note that $20 and $40 and $10 add up to $70, as they must.
