Let's define two variables to represent the number of pounds of blueberries and grapes sold:
Let x be the number of pounds of blueberries sold.
Let y be the number of pounds of grapes sold.
Now, let's set up the equations based on the information given:
The first equation represents the total amount of money made from selling blueberries and grapes:
2.50x + 1.25y = 55
The second equation represents the total number of pounds of blueberries and grapes sold:
x + y = 33
So, the system of equations can be written as:
2.50x + 1.25y = 55
x + y = 33
