Determine the total amount earned

The given parameters can't be used to determine the total amount earned.

However, we'll make some assumptions

First, we need to solve for the amount of each cake sold

Assume that:

Each caramel were sold at x

Each chocolate were sold at y

Each banana were sold at z

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
