Suppose your brother's elementary school class sells gift wrap for $2 per package and greeting cards for $5 per package. His class sells 220 packages in all and earns a total of $695. Write and solve a system of equations to find the number of each type of package sold.


Your class sells a total of 64 tickets to a plan. A student ticket costs $1, and an adult ticket costs $2.50. Your class collects $109 in total ticket sales. Write and solve a system of equations to find how many adult tickets and how many student tickets were sold.
