The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $38. The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets. Which equations represents the system that could be used?

1s + 3c = 38
2s + 3c = 52

3s + 1c = 38
3s + 2c = 52

s + c = 38
s + c = 52

3s + 3c = 38
1s + 2c = 52

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
