A box of standard strawberries sells for $7, and a box of deluxe strawberries sells for $10. In one day the stand sold 135 boxes of strawberries for a total of $1110. How many boxes of each type were sold?

Explanation / Answer

Let, s = number of standard boxes sold and d = number of deluxe boxes sold. In one day the stand sells 135 boxes of strawberries for a total of $1110. This leads to two system of equations:

s + d = 135 (Total boxes sold in a day)-------------------------------------------------------------- Equation 1

7s + 10d = 1110 (Factoring in price of each box and total selling price)-------------------- Equation 2

Solving the above two equations:

So, number of standard strawberry boxes = 80 and delux = 55
