    Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

    Let Jessica sold x books

    Let Josh sold y books.

    Since we are given that Jessica sold 19 times more books than Josh.

    ⇒x=19y

    We are also given that together they sold 200 books.

    ⇒x+y=200

    ⇒19y+y=200

    ⇒20y=200

    ⇒ y=10

    ⇒ x=19y=190

    Hence, Josh sold 10 books

    and Jessica sold 190 books
