Writing Systems of Equations from verbal

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

Lizzy has 30 coins that total $4.80. All of her coins are dimes, D, and quarters, Q. Which system of equations models this situation?

• D + Q = 4.80

  0.10D + 0.25Q = 30

• D + Q = 30

  0.10D + 0.25Q = 4.80

• D + Q = 30

  0.25D + 0.10Q = 4.80

• D + Q = 4.80

  0.25D + 0.10Q = 30

Tania had 35 coins in pennies and nickels. She had $1.03. Which system of equations could be used to determine the number of coins she has?

• .01p + .05n = 35

  p + n = 103

• 1p + 5n = 1.03

  p + n = 35

• .01p + .05n = 1.03

  p + n = 35

• .05p + .01n = 1.03

  p + n = 35
