Question

A bakery sold apple pies for $11 and blueberry pies for $13. One Saturday they sold a total of 38 pies and collected a total of $460. How many apple pies did they sell and how many blueberry pies did they sell?

Answer 1

A= apple pie

B = blueberry pie

a+b=38

a=38-b

11a + 13b =460

11(38-b) + 13b = 460

418-11b +13b = 460

2b=42

b=42/2 =21

they sold 21 blueberry pies and 17 apple pies

Answer 2

17 Apple pies and 21 blueberry pies
