chocolate chip cookies sold=c
sugar cookies sold= s
c+20=s
c+s=70
c+c+20=70
2c+20=70
2c=50
c=25
25+20=45 sugar cookies
Just to check 45+25=70

She sold 45 sugar cookies

Hope this helps :)

Trial and error

70=c+(c+20)
70=2c + 20
-20 -20
50=2c
÷2 ÷2
25=choco cookies

70-25=35

35=sugar cookies
CHECK....

25=35=70
It is correct
