Sam's Grocery store sells potatoes only in 5-pound bags and 10-pound bags. yesterday, if the store sold 130 pounds of potatoes, how many 5-pound bags were sold?
1) The number of 5-pound bags sold was 2 more than 4 times the number of 10-pound bags sold.
2) The store sold 50 more pounds of potatoes in 5-pound bags than in 10-pound bags.
I got this question right but wasn't too sure of the equations. Kindly, help out. Thanks!

# of 5-pounds bag sold= p, # for 10 pounds bag sold= q.
Given, that 5p+10q = 130 , or p+2q = 26
F.S 1, states that p = 4q+2.
F.S 2 states that 5p = 50+10q --> p = 10+2q.
Both are sufficient.
