This is the CORRECT answer!
Step-by-step explanation:
System: x + y =72 and 15x + 25y =1,380
Solve the first equation for x:
x + y= 72
x = 72 - y
Substitute 72 - y for x in the second equation:
15(72 - y ) + 25y = 1,380
1,080 - 15y + 25y = 1,380
1,080 + 10y = 1,380
10y = 300
y = 30
So 30 items were sold at $25.

Solve for one variable by expressing it in terms of the other. Let's solve for Y (yes we could solve for X but it's arbitrary).
Use first equation, x+y=72. Therefore x=72-y. Let's plug (72-y) into second equation everywhere x appears.
15(72-y) + 25y = 1380. Now solve for y:
1080-15y+25y=1380. 10y=300. y=30. If x+y=72, then x=72-30 or x=42.
Let's check it. X+y=72. 42+30=72. Right answer!
