**Problem Statement:**

Staples sells boxes of pens ($10) and rubber bands ($5). Leona ordered a total of 23 cartons for $200. How many boxes of each did Leona order? 

*Hint: Let P = Pens.*

**Table:**

- Leona ordered | boxes of pens
- Leona ordered | boxes of rubber bands

To solve this, you can set up the following system of equations based on the given information:

1. P + R = 23 (where P is the number of boxes of pens and R is the number of boxes of rubber bands)
2. 10P + 5R = 200

You can solve these equations to find the values of P and R.
