The talent show committee sold a total of 530 tickets in advance. Student tickets cost $3 each and the adult tickets cost $4 each. If the total receipts were $1740, which system could be used to find how many of each type of ticket were sold?

S + A = 530
3S + 4A = 1740

S + A = 530
4S + 3A = 1740

S + A = 1740
3S + 4A = 530

S + A = 1740
4S + 3A = 530

Flagship Cinemas sells movie tickets that are $4 for matinees and $7 for regular. One night, the theater sells 578 tickets and collects $3365 in total ticket sales.
Which system best represents the situation?

4x + 7y = 578
x + y = 3365

4x + 7y = 3365
x + y = 578

4y + 7x = 578
x + y = 3365

4y + 7x = 3365
x + y = 578

There are 15 animals in a barn. These animals are horses and chickens. There are 44 legs in all.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

x + y = 15
4x + 2y = 44

4x + 2y = 15
x + y = 44

x = 2y + 44
4x = y + 15

2x - 4y = 44
x - y = 15

On Monday Joe bought 10 cups of coffee and 5 doughnuts for his office at the cost of $16.50.  On Tuesday he bought 5 cups of coffee and 10 doughnuts for a total of $14.25. Which equations could be used to determine the cost of the coffee? 

10c + 5d = 14.25
5c + 10d = 16.50

10c + 5d = 16.50
5c + 10d = 14.25

c + d = 10
5c + 10d = 16.50

c + d = 5
5c + 10d = 16.50
