Answer

$80$ boxes of normal and $55$ boxes of deluxe strawberries were sold.

Work Step by Step

Let $x$ be the number of boxes of normal strawberries sold. Then the number of boxes of deluxe strawberries sold is $135-x$. Then our equation is: $7x+10(135-x)=1110\\7x+1350-10x=1110\\3x=240\\x=80$ Thus, $80$ boxes of normal and $135-80=55$ boxes of deluxe strawberries were sold.
