Question

Band students at Oakland High School sell candy every year as a fundraiser. Last year, they sold 84 boxes of truffles and 89 boxes of peanut brittle, raising a total of $603. This year, they sold 90 boxes of truffles and 97 boxes of peanut brittle, from which they raised $651.

How much does the band earn from each item?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:T=price of truffles and B=price of peanut brittle

68T + 52B = 480

79T + 52B = 524

Now subtract the first equation from the second to get T.

Use one of the 2 equations to get B.
