Answer:
494 & 720
Step-by-step explanation:
Let say Pennsylvania Produced Apples = A millions pound
New York produced 226 million pounds more apples than Pennsylvania.
=> New York Produced Apples = A + 226 Million pound
Total Apple Produced = A + A + 226 Millions pound
= 2A + 226
2A + 226 = 1214
=> 2A = 988
=> A = 494
Amount grown in Pennsylvania = 494 Million pound
Amount grown in New York = 494 + 226 = 720 Million pound
