To understand more, check below explanation.

Equation in one variable:

Let us consider that  Marsha and Mark both sold x number of sweets each.

Since Marsha sells her sweets for $0.25 each.

Amount Marsha earns = 0.25x

Mark sells his for $0.50 each.

Amount Mark earns = 0.50 x.

Given that, Marsha had $4.00 in her pocket in the morning, and Mark had $0.50.

                     4 + 0.25x = 0.50 + 0.50x

                       0.25x = 3.5

                              x = 3.5/0.25

                              x = 14

Hence, Marsha and Mark both sold 14 numbers of sweets each.
