Answer:

x + y = 540

x + 0.35y = 750

Explanation:

The x represents the brownies and y represents cookies. They both add up to 540, hence the first equation. Also, the prices add up to $750. The x doesn't need a coefficient since it is a dollar a piece. But, since the cookies cost 35 cents a piece, they need a coefficient.
