You and your friend are buying throw blankets with your names embroidered on them. The cost of the throw blanket is x dollars and the cost of each embroidered letter is y dollars. Your name has 6 letters and the total cost is $29. Your friend's name has 3 letters and the total cost is $24.50. Which system can you use to solve this problem?

• $x+y=6$
  $x+y=3$
  

• $x+6y=29$
  $x+3y=24.5$
  

• $x+y=29$
  $x+y=24.5$
  

• $x+y=29$
  $x+9y=24.5$
