The system of equations of the number of bottles in both classes has two distinct equations

Mr. Sanchez's class sold 39 bottles, while Mr. Kelly's class sold 44 bottles

How to solve the system of equations?

The given parameters are:

Mr. Sanchez = $1.73

Mr. Kelly = $1.44

Represent the number of bottles in both classes with x and y,

So, we have the following equations

1.73x + 1.44y = 130.83

x + y = 83

Next, we plot the graphs of the equations

From the graph (see attachment), we have:

(x,y) = (39,44)

Hence, Mr. Sanchez's class sold 39 bottles, while Mr. Kelly's class sold 44 bottles
