mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk
step-by-step explanation:
let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.
1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then
x+y=85.
2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,
1.35x+1.08y=104.49.
3. solve the system of two equations:
![\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=85\\1.35x+1.08y=104.49\end{array}\right.\rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}x=85-y\\1.35(85-y)+1.08y=104.49\end{array}\right.](/tex.php?f=\left\{\begin{array}{l}x+y=85\\1.35x+1.08y=104.49\end{array}\right.\rightarrow \left\{\begin{array}{l}x=85-y\\1.35(85-y)+1.08y=104.49\end{array}\right.)
![114.75-1.35y+1.08y=104.49,\\ \\114.75-104.49=1.35y-1.08y,\\ \\10.26=0.27y,\\ \\y=38,\\ \\x=85-38=47.](/tex.php?f=114.75-1.35y+1.08y=104.49,\\ \\114.75-104.49=1.35y-1.08y,\\ \\10.26=0.27y,\\ \\y=38,\\ \\x=85-38=47.)
