Let's denote the number of vases Felicity has as \( v \) and the number of bowls as \( b \). We are given two key pieces of information:
1. The total number of pottery pieces (vases and bowls) is 30.
2. The total sales from these pieces amount to $477.
From these pieces of information, we can establish the following system of equations:
1. The first equation represents the total number of pieces:
\[
v + b = 30
\]
2. The second equation represents the total sales from vases and bowls:
\[
21v + 12.5b = 477
\]
Now, we have a system of equations:
\[
\begin{align*}
1. & \quad v + b = 30 \\
2. & \quad 21v + 12.5b = 477
\end{align*}
\]
You can solve this system of equations using substitution or elimination methods to find the values of \( v \) and \( b \). Would you like me to show you how to solve this system?
