Let's assume x to be the number of brownies being sold and y to be the number of chocolate chip cookies sold.
A sorority raised $260, so we can write an equation:
2x + 1y = 260 (Equation 1)
A sorority sold a total of 190 items at the bake sale, so we can also write another equation:
x + y = 190 (Equation 2)
Now we have two equations with two variables x and y, we can use the elimination or substitution method to solve for x and y.
