Creating Systems of Equations

Nancy went to the grocery story. On Monday she purchased 4 apples and 6 bananas for a total of $13. On Wednesday she purchased 3 apples and 7 bananas for a total of $13.50. Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 4x + 6y = 3

  13.5x - 13y = 6

• x + y = 4

  x - y = 6

• 4x + 6y = 13

  3x + 7y = 13.5

• 4x - 6y = 13

  3x - 7y = 13.5

The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, which system could be used to find how many of each type of ticket were sold?

• S + A = 530
  3S + 4A = 1740
• S + A = 530
  4S + 3A = 1740
• S + A = 1740
  3S + 4A = 530
• S + A = 1740
  4S + 3A = 530

There are 15 animals in a barn.  These animals are horses and chickens.  There are 44 legs in all.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• x + y = 15
  4x + 2y = 44
• 4x + 2y = 15
  x + y = 44
• x = 2y + 44
  4x = y + 15
• 2x - 4y = 44
  x - y = 15

Caitlin won a bag full of money! She has 49 bills in all. She counts $1430. There are twenty dollar bills and fifty dollar bills. How many of each bill does Caitlin have? Which system best represents the situation?

• x + y = 1430

  20x + 50y = 49

• x + y = 49

  10x + 5y = 1430

• x + y = 49

  20x + 50y = 1430

• x + y = 49

  x + y = 1430
