Abaseball team fundraiser collected $2,400 from the sale of balloons and banners. the amounts earned from balloons and banners were equal. balloons sold for $3, and banners sold for $4. how many of each were sold?

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of balloons sold at $3 each was $1200/$3 = 400.

The number of banners sold at $4 each was $1200/$4 = 300.

400 balloons and 300 banners were sold.
