The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32. Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75. Write a system of equations.
5q + 2z = 1.32
1z = 0.75
5q + 2z = 1.32
3q + 1z = 0.75
q + z = 1.32
q + z = 0.75
5q + 2z = 0.75
3q + 1z = 1.32

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

Dennis mowed his next door neighbor’s lawn for a handful of dimes and nickels, 80 coins in all. Upon completing the job he counted out the coins and it came to $6.60. Which system of equations could be used to find the exact number of dimes and nickels?
d + n = 6.60
.10d + .05n = 80
d + n = 80
d + n = 6.60
d + n = 80
.10d + .05n = 6.60
d + n = 80
.05d + .10n = 6.60

On Monday Joe bought 10 cups of coffee and 5 doughnuts for his office at the cost of $16.50. It turns out that the doughnuts were more popular than the coffee. 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

A sporting goods store sells left haded (x) and right handed (y) gloves. In one month, 12 gloves were sold for a total of $561. Right handed gloves cost $45 each and left handed gloves cost $52. Which system could be solved to determine the number of each type of glove sold?
x + y = 561
45x + 52y = 12
x + y = 12
52x + 45y = 561
x + y = 12
45x + 52y = 561
x + y = 561
52x + 45y = 12

At a college bookstore, Carla purchased a math textbook and a novel that cost a total of $54, not including tax. If the price of the math textbook, t, is $8 more than 3 times the price of the novel, n, which system of linear equations could be used to determine the price of each book?
t + n = 54
t = 3n + 8
t + n = 54
n = 3t + 8
t + n = 54
t = 3n - 8
t + n = 8
t = 3n + 54
