The answer is 98 small and 57 large cups.
s - the number of small cups
l - the number of large cups
Ashley sold a total of 155 cups: s + l = 155
Ashley earned
for $265: 1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
s + l = 155
1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
________
s = 155 - l
1.25 * s + 2.50 * l = 265
________
1.25 * (155 - l) + 2.50 * l = 265
193.75 - 1.25 * l + 2.50 * l = 265
193.75 + 1.25 * l = 265
1.25 * l = 265 - 193.75
1.25 * l = 71.25
l = 71.25 / 1.25
l = 57
______
s = 155 - l
l = 57
s = 155 - 57
s = 98
