Let's assume the number of large cupcakes sold is x.
The number of small cupcakes sold would be 105 - x.
The total amount of money raised from selling large cupcakes would be 1.25 * x.
The total amount of money raised from selling small cupcakes would be 0.75 * (105 - x).
The sum of these two amounts should equal $109.75, so we can write the equation:
1.25 * x + 0.75 * (105 - x) = 109.75
Simplifying the equation:
1.25x + 0.75 * 105 - 0.75x = 109.75
1.25x + 78.75 - 0.75x = 109.75
0.5x = 109.75 - 78.75
0.5x = 31
x = 31 / 0.5
x = 62
