How do you answer these?

Step-by-step explanation:

1340 chocolate cupcakes and 860 red velvet cupcakes are sold each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of chocolate cupcakes that are sold each day.

Let y represent the number of red velvet cupcakes that are sold each day.

If the total number of cupcakes sold per day is 2,200, it means that

x + y = 2200

The chocolate cupcakes cost $2.25 each and the red velvet cupcakes cost $1.75 each. The cupcake store sells $4520 worth of cupcakes a day. This means that

2.25x + 1.75y = 4520 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 2200 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.25(2200 - y) + 1.75y = 4520

4950 - 2.25y + 1.75y = 4520

- 2.25y + 1.75y = 4520 - 4950

- 0.5y = - 430

y = - 430/- 0.5

y = 860

x = 2200 - y = 2200 - 860

x = 1340
