    Create our system of equations

    28f + 15p = 131

    f + p = 7

    Solve for f or p (it doesn't matter which)

    f = 7 - p

    Put this into the other equation above

    28f + 15p = 131

    28 (7 - p) + 15p = 131

    Solve

    196 - 28p + 15p = 131

    196 - 13p = 131

    -13p = - 65

    p = 5

    Answer:

    p = 5

    f = 2
