Answer:
31 Pikachu bags were sold.
19 peanut bags were sold.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set up an equation of the total revenue of the day, where x is the number of Pikachu's sold.
We know that the number of Peanuts sold is 50-x (as the total needs to be 50)
We know that the total revenue is:
Number of Pikachus * Cost per Pikachus + Number of Peanuts * Cost per Peanuts
Using our definitions above:
Total Revenue = x * $3.68 + (50-x) * $0.76
We know that the revenue needs to be $128.52.
$128.52 = x * $3.68 + (50-x) * $0.76
Let's remove the $ signs.
128.52 = x * 3.68 + (50-x) * 0.76
Multiplying both 50 and -x with 0.76, "expanding" the parenthesis.
128.52 = x*3.68 + 50*0.76 - x*0.76
128.52 = x*3.68 + 38 - 0.76*x
Subtracting 38 from both sides
90.52 = 3.68*x - 0.76*x
We can simplify the right side.
90.52 = 2.92*x
We can divide both sides by 2.92:
31 = x
And flip it:
x = 31
So 31 Pikachus were sold (remember we claled that x), and as we know, the number of peanut bags sold is
50-x = 50-31 = 19
31 Pikachu bags were sold.
19 peanut bags were sold.

Let the number of peanut bags be x
Then, Number of pikachu bags = 50 - x
Given,
Then,
⇛ Total cost he gets from peanut bag = $0.76 × x
⇛ Total cost he gets from pikachu bag = $3.68(50 - x)
According to question,
⇛ $0.76x+ $3.68(50 - x) = $128.52
Solving this equation,
⇛ 0.76x + 184 - 3.68x = 128.52 (Removed $ symbol)
⇛ 184 - 2.92x = 128.52
⇛ 184 - 128.52 = 2.92x
⇛ 55.48 = 2.92x
Flipping the equation,
⇛ 2.92x = 55.48
⇛ x = 55.48 / 2.92
⇛ x = 19
Then,
⇛ 50 - x = 50 - 19 = 31
