Answer provided by our tutors

let


s = the number of small cups

l = the number of large cups


Bella sold 140 cups of lemonade


s + l = 140


she made $324


1.50*s + 3.50*l = 324


by solving the system of equations


s + l = 140

1.50*s + 3.50*l = 324


we find


s = 83 small cups


l = 57 large cups
