21 cupcakes and 33 cookies were sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Number of cupcakes

y = Number of cookies

As per given,

x+y= 54       (i)

Cost: 2.25x+0.25y=55.50          (ii)

Multiply 0.25 to (i0, we get

0.25x+0.25y = 0.25(54)

⇒0.25x+0.25y = 13.5         (iii)

subtract (iii) from (ii), we get

2x=42

Divide both sides by 2, we get x= 21

Put this in (i) , we get 21+y =54 ⇒ y= 54-21= 33

Hence, 21 cupcakes and 33 cookies were sold.
