Charlotte sold 13 more pounds of bananas than pounds of raspberries and made $227.25 altogether. Determine the number of pounds of bananas sold and the number of pounds of raspberries sold.

Let  P  be  the pounds of raspberries  sold

 

Then P + 13  =  the pounds of bananas sold

 

So

 

1.75P  + 3.25 (P + 13) =  227.25    simplify

 

1.75P  + 3.25 P  +  42.25  =  227.25

 

5P + 48.75 = 227.25     subtract 42.25 from both sides

 

5P = 185      divide both sides by  5

 

P =  37 lbs of raspberries
