Edwin bought 3 cd's and 7 dvd's for $80.  Jessica bought 6 cd's and 3 dvd's for $63.75.  Which system of equations could be used to determine how much one cd and one dvd costs?

• 3x + 7y = 80
  6x + 3y = 63.75
• 3x + 3y = 80
  6x + 7y = 63.75
• 3x + 7y = 63.75
  6x + 3y = 80
• 6x + 7y = 80
  3x + 3y = 63.75

Academy sports equipment store is having a sale on bike helmets and water bottles.  One bike club purchased 10 helmets and 2 water bottles for $155.  Another bike club purchased 12 helmets and 3 water bottles for $189.  Which system of equations could be used to determine the cost of a bike helmet and a water bottle?

• 2h + 10b = 155
  12h + 3b = 189
• 10h + 2b = 189
  12h + 3b = 155
• 10h + 2b = 155
  12h + 3b = 189
• 10h + 3b = 155
  12h + 2b = 189

Ricki has a prepaid cell phone. Last week Ricki made 4 calls and sent 20 text messages which cost a total of $4. The next week he made 10 calls and sent 5 text messages which cost him a total of $5.50. Write a system of equations that represents that situation.

• 4x + 20y = 4

  10x + 5y = 5.50

• 4x + 5y = 4

  10x + 20y = 5.50

• x + y = 4

  4x + 20y =5.50

• x - y = 5.50

  4x + 20y =4

Your family goes to a southern style restaurant for dinner. There are 6 total people in your family. Some order chicken for $14 and the rest order steak for $17. The total bill is $99. Write a system that could represent this situation.

• c + s = 6
  14c + 17s = 99
• c + s = 99
  14c + 17s = 6
• c + s = 6
  17c + 14s = 99
• c + s = 99
  17c + 14s = 6
