Regina bought fruit for her family. She bought 3 1/2 pounds of oranges and 4 3/4 pounds of peaches. If she used all but 1 3/8 pounds of the fruit in a fruit salad, how much fruit was in the fruit salad?

3 1/2 oranges+ 4 3/4 peaches = 8 1/4 oranges and peaches - 1 3/8 fruit left= 6 7/8 lbs of fruit used.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
