The Junior High band sold candy for the fundraiser. The profit from the candy sale was $180. The girls sold three times as much candy as the boys. How much of the total profit did the boys provide?
let X the price of candy the girls sold and Y for the boys so we have X + Y = 180 and X = 3Y so X + Y = 180 X - 3Y =0 is a system of equation for solving it is 4Y=180 implies Y= 45, and X =3Y =3 .45 =135
