Rewriting problem statement for punctuation and conventional written English:
Your parents donated fudge for a fund raiser for your classroom. Forty pounds of chocolate fudge was sold for $2.15 per pound, and vanilla fudges was sold for $1.90 per pound. Your class made $156.20. How many pounds of fudge was sold?

Analysis: Let v = pounds of vanilla fudge sold. We already are given that 40 pounds of chocolate fudge was sold.

Solution: 40%2A2.15%2Bv%2A1.90=156.20, accounting for the revenue from selling fudges. Find v.
1.90v=156.20-40%2A2.15
1.90v=70.20
highlight%28v=36.95%29, the pounds of vanilla fudge sold. Should be taken as closer to 37 pounds.

ANSWER: Best value is highlight%2837%2B40=77%29 pounds of fudge was sold.
