Question

Band students at Brookfield High School sell candy every year as a fundraiser. Last year, they sold 68 boxes of truffles and 52 boxes of peanut brittle, raising a total of $480. This year, they sold 79 boxes of truffles and 52 boxes of peanut brittle, from which they raised $524. How much does the band earn from each item?

The band earns $________ from each box of truffles and $__________ from each box of peanut brittle.

Answer 1

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.
