    You will have 2 equations.

    30x+20y=1100

    and

    x+y=45

    by putting it into standard form

    - (30/20) x+55=y

    you can now solve finding the answer to be 20 for x and 25 for y.

    Plug it into the original equation to find it correct and then plug it into x+y

    20+25=45

    30*20+25*20=1100
