    F is number of frogs sold

    p is number of Popsicles sold

    6f+1.5p=94.50

    f+p=36

    Rearrange

    p=36-f

    Substitute

    6f+1.5 (36-f) = 94.5

    Reduce

    6f+54-1.5f=94.5

    4.5f=40.5

    F=9

    Substitute

    9+p=36

    P=27

    George sold 27 Popsicles and 9 Frogs
