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

Your family goes to a restaurant for dinner. There are 6 people in your family. Some order the chicken dinner for $14.80, and some order steak for $17. If the total bill was $91, which system best represents the situation? (Let x represent chicken dinners and y represent steak.)

• x + y = 6

  14.80x + 17y = 91

• x + y = 91

  14.80x + 17y = 6

• x + y = 6

  14.80y + 17x = 91

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?

• 4m + 7r = 578

  m + r = 3365

• 4m + 7r = 3365

  m + r = 578

• 4m + 7r = 578

  m + r = 3365

• 4r + 7m= 3365

  m + r = 578

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

  x + 8y = 60
