    69 pounds of peaches what you do is take 337.50 - 165 then you divide that by 2.50 and that gives you 69 pounds

    X=pounds of apples

    y=pounds of peaches.

    we suggest this equation:

    x+y=165

    1.75x+2.5y=337.5

    We solve this equation by substitution method:

    x=165-y

    1.75 (165-y) + 2.5y=337.5

    288.75-1.75y+2.5y=337.5

    0.75y=337.5-288.75

    0.75y=48.75

    y=48.75/0.75=65

    x=165-y

    x=165-65=100.

    She sell 100 pounds of apples and 65 pounds of peaches.
