Answer:

  • Moana: 68 seed packets
  • Afa: 27 calendars

Explanation:

Let c represent the number of calendars sold. Then 95-c is the number of seed packets sold. The total revenue is ...

0.65(95-c) +1.50c = 84.70

0.85c = 22.95 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 61.75

c = 27

95 -c = 68

Moana sold 68 seed packets; Afa sold 27 calendars.
