Question 1042405: Please help me solve this problem:

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x      jars of blackberry jam
y      jars of strawberry jam

Profit expected is 105.96 dollars.
Number of jars of jams is 54.
x at $2.68
y at $1.54


Account for jars and profit to expect:
system%28x%2By=54%2C2.68x%2B1.54y=105.96%29
