A grocer sells avocados for $1.50 each and pineapples for $2.00 each. How many avocados did the grocer sell today?
(1) The number of avocados sold today is 20 more than twice the number of pineapples sold.
Insufficient
A = 2*P + 20
Clearly we can't solve for A and P
(2) Today the grocer received a total of $155 from the sale of avocados and pineapples.
Insufficient
1.5*A + 2.0*P = 155
3A + 4P = 31*(100)
We will get three combinations of A and P for this equation
Combining (1) and (2),
We can solve for unique values of A and P
(C) is the answer

A grocer sells avocados for $1.50 each and pineapples for $2.00 each. How many avocados did the grocer sell today?
(1) The number of avocados sold today is 20 more than twice the number of pineapples sold.
A=20+2P (We have 2 variables and we don’t know value of either)
Insufficient
(2) Today the grocer received a total of $155 from the sale of avocados and pineapples.
1.5A+2P=155 (Again 2 variables)
Insufficient
(1)&(2)
1.5A+2(A-20)/2 =155
1.5A+A-20=155
2.5A=155+20=175
A=175/2.5=70
