69 fudge 80 tofee

mathstudent55 · Answer

Let f = pounds of fudge
Let t = pounds of toffee
The total weight sold is: f + t = 149
Since fudge sells for $9.99/lb, and toffee for $7.88/lb, the amount of money sold is:
9.99f + 7.88t = 1319.71
Those are the two equations you need to solve simultaneously to find the answer.
