Answer:

Kay sold 67 cell phones and Allen sold 50 cell phones.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k = # cell phones Kay sold and a = # cell phones Allen sold.

k + a = 117

k = 17 + a

So:

(17 + a) + a = 117

2a = 100

a = 50

Plug this back into 2nd equation:

k = 17 + a

k = 17 + 50

k = 67

Kay sold 67 cell phones and Allen sold 50 cell phones.
