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

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

At a local concert hall, the owner charges $7 per ticket. The owner must pay his band $1200. Every customer receives a brochure that costs the owner $2 for each person.

What system would determine when he breaks even?

• y = 7x

  y = 2x + 1200

• y = 2x

  y = 7x + 1200

• y = 9x + 1200

• y = -2x - 1200

  y = 7x

John was 20 feet away and was running 5 feet per minute. Alex was 50 feet away and was 3 feet per minute. Write a system of two equations for this situation?

• y = 5x + 20

  y = 3x + 50

• y = 20x + 5

  y = 50x + 3

• y = 5x + 50

  y = 2x + 20

• y = 50x + 5

  y = 20x + 3

The little bunny ate 20 carrots and he could eat another 5 carrots a day. The big bunny had already eaten 60 carrots and he could eat 25 more carrots a day. Write a system of equations for this situation.

• y = 5x + 20

  y = 25x + 60

• y = 20x + 5

  y = 60x + 25

• y = 60x + 5

  y = 20x + 25

• y = 5x + 60

  y = 25x + 20
