Sally is raising money for the senior class by selling books and magazines. The number of books she sold was four times the number of magazines sold. The profit received for each book sold was $3.25 and the profit for each magazine sold was two dollars. If she made a total profit of $135, how many books did she sell? How many magazines did she sell
let x=number of magazjnes sold
4x=number of books sold
2x+3.25*4x=135
5.25x=135
15x=135
x=9
4x=36
number of magazjnes sold=9
4x=number of books sold=36
