Let x be the number of vegetable wraps and y be the number of chicken wraps. From the given above, the system of linear equations that best represent the conditions given,
x + y = 70
x + 1.8y = 98.80
The values of x and y are 34 and 36, respectively. Therefore, the school cafeteria sold 34 vegetable wraps.
