Starbucks’ Cafeteria Challenge: Crack the Combo Count

Starbucks recently introduced a cafeteria-style menu in select outlets, offering two meal combos that have become wildly popular among students and office-goers. Combo A, a sandwich with a side salad, costs \$5, while Combo B, a gourmet pasta meal, costs \$7. On a particular day, the cafeteria manager tallied sales of 100 meals totaling \$600, leaving the staff curious about how many of each combo were sold.
