How to solve this question using elimatio. Method

For every sunday you sell, you make $2. For every banana split you sell, you make $3. On a hot summer day the shop sold 8 more sundaes than banana splits and made $156

Is there more information?
Letting s=# sundaes sold, and b=#banana splits
We have:  2s + 3b = 156
 
There should be information to make a second equation such as
the total number of ice cream desserts sold.
