The first equation is $3 times 9 = $27 the next equation iis $1 times 2 = $1
So you do 9 transactions over $100 and 2 transactions of $100 or lower.

x=over 100
y=100 or less

x+y=25
3x+1y=29

sole
mltiply first equation by -1 and add to other equation

-1x-1y=-25
3x+1y=29 +
2x+0y=4

2x=4
divide by 2
x=2

sub back
x+y=25
2+y=25
minus 2
y=23


there were 2 transactions more than 100
there were 23 transactions 100 or less
