Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450
• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315
• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

Some students want to order shirts with their school logo. One company charges $9.65 per shirt plus a setup fee of $43. Another company charges $8.40 per shirt plus a $58 fee. Which equation represents the number of shirts when both companies charge the same amount? 

• y = 9.65 + x
  y = 8.40 + x
• y = 9.65x + 43
  y = 8.40x + 58
• y =9.65x
  y = 8.40x
• y = 9.65x - 43
  y = 8.40x - 58

The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $38. The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets. Which equations represents the system that could be used? 

• 1s + 3c = 38
  2s + 3c = 52
• 3s + 1c = 38
  3s + 2c = 52
• s + c = 38
  s + c = 52
• 3s + 3c = 38
  1s + 2c = 52

Dennis mowed his next door neighbor’s lawn for a handful of dimes and nickels, 80 coins in all.  Upon completing the job he counted out the coins and it came to $6.60.  Which system of equations could be used to find the exact number of dimes and nickels? 

• d + n = 6.60
  .10d + .05n = 80
• d + n = 80
  d + n = 6.60
• d + n = 80
  .10d + .05n = 6.60
• d + n = 80
  .05d + .10n = 6.60

A large pizza at Palanzio’s Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido’s Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of toppings when both companies cost the same amount? 

• y = 6.80 + .65x
  y=7.30+.90x
• x + y = 6.80
  x + y = 7.30
• y = 6.80+.90x
  y = 7.30 + .65x
• y + .90x = 6.80
  y + .65x = 7.30
