Answer:
The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x —-> the number of strawberry baskets sold
y —> the number of raspberries baskets sold
we know that
In one morning, Katya sells 96 baskets for $644
so
—-> equation A
—> equation B
Solve the system by graphing
Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs
using a graphing tool
The solution is the point (44.52)
see the attached figure
therefore
The number of strawberry baskets sold was 44 and the number of raspberries baskets sold was 52
