Answer:

Ann sold 124 bottles of drinks in the morning

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> bottles sold in the afternoon

y ---> bottles sold in the morning

we know that

Ann sold 314 bottles of drinks a day

so

[tex]x+y=314[/tex] -----> equation A

She sold 66 bottles more in the afternoon than in the morning

so

[tex]x=y+66[/tex] ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]y+66+y=314[/tex]

solve for y

[tex]2y=314-66\\2y=248\\y=124[/tex]

therefore

Ann sold 124 bottles of drinks in the morning
