11. The ASB club sells brownies and chips at
lunch. The brownies are sold for $0.75 and the
chips for $1.25. On Wednesday, the number of
brownies sold was 16 more than the number of
chips sold. If the club collected a total of $100, how
many of each item sold? Create a system of
equations and solve it.
