Homer sells tickets for admission to your school play and collects a total of $104. Admission prices are $6 for adults and $4 for children. He sold 21 tickets total. Write a system to represent this situation assuming "a" represents # of adult tickets and "c" represents # of children's tickets.

• x + y = 21
  6x + 4y = 104
• x + y = 104
  6x + 4y = 21
• x + y = 21
  6y + 4x = 104
• x + y = 104
  6x + 4y = 21

David is running a concession stand at a soccer game. He sells nachos and sodas. Nachos cost $1.50 each and sodas cost $0.50 each. At the end of the game, David made a total of $78.50 and sold a total of 87 nachos and sodas combined. Which system of equations represents this situation? *

• 1.5x + 0.5y = 78.5
  x + y = 87
• 1.5x + 0.5y = 78.5
  1.5x + 0.5y = 87
• x + y = 78.5
  1.5x + 0.5y = 87
• x + y = 78.5
  x + y = 87
