Statement 1:
Clearly INSUFFICIENT.
Statement 2:
\(7a + 15s = 65\)
\(a\) and \(s\) must be NONNEGATIVE INTEGERS.
Since \(15s\) may not exceed 65, \(s<5\).
Only \(s=2\) yields an integer value for \(a\):
\(7a + 15*2 = 65\)
\(7a = 35\)
\(a = 5\)
SUFFICIENT.
Are these strawberries filled with diamonds?
$15 for a single strawberry seems steep.

A shopkeeper sells apples for $7 each and strawberries for $15.00 each. How many apples did the shopkeeper sell today?
Total sales = 7a +15b
Stat1: The number of apples sold today is 1 more than twice the number of strawberries sold.
given, a-s=1, we can't get value of a. Not sufficient.
Stat2: Today the shopkeeper received a total of $65 from the sale of both apples and strawberries.
7a +15b =65, which can only one value of a = 5 and b= 2. Sufficient.
So, I think B.
Total sales = 7a +15b
