Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450

• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315

• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

Your family goes to a southern style restaurant for dinner. There are 6 total people in your family. Some order chicken for $14 and the rest order steak for $17. The total bill is $99. Write a system that could represent this situation.

• c + s = 6
  14c + 17s = 99

• c + s = 99
  14c + 17s = 6

• c + s = 6
  17c + 14s = 99

• c + s = 99
  17c + 14s = 6

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $68 for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y?

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 68

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 60

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 68

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 60

A customer at a store paid $64 for 3 large candles and 4 small candles. At the same store, a second customer paid $4 more than the first customer for 1 large candle and 8 small candles. The price of each large candle is the same, and the price of each small candle is the same. Which system of equations can be used to find the price in dollars of each large candle, x, and each small candle, y?

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 68

• 4y = 3x + 64

  8y = x + 60

• 3x + 4y = 64

  x + 8y = 68

• 3x + 4y = 64
