    d = 55 boxes of deluxe

    s = 135 - 55 = 80 boxes of standard

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is a system of equations.

    Let s = number of standard boxes

    d = number of deluxe boxes

    s + d = 135 sold

    7s + 13d = $1275

    we can use substitution

    s = 135 - d

    7 * (135 - d) + 13 d = 1275

    945 - 7d + 13d = 1275

    6d = 330

    d = 55 boxes of deluxe

    s = 135 - 55 = 80 boxes of standard
