Unit 5 Study Guide (Systems of Equations) 8th Grade Math

1.Larry and his friends went to the concession stand and bought drinks, d, for $1 and slices of pizza, p, for $1.75. The total cost for 9 items was $13.50. Write a system of equations to represent the situation and find out how many drinks and slices of pizza they bought.

• d + p = 9 and 1.75p = 13.50

• d + p = 9 and d + 1.75p = 13.50

• d + p = 13.50 and 1.75p = 9

• d + 1.75p = 9 and d + p = 13.50

2.At a school fundraiser candles, c, and wrapping paper, w, were being sold. Carlos sold 12 candles and 10 wrapping papers for a total of $226. Marie sold 5 candles and 15 wrapping papers for a total of $186.25. Which of the following systems of equations will help to solve for the cost of each candle and each wrapping paper?

• 12c + 10w = 226, 5c + 15w = 186.25

• 12c + 10w = 186.25, 5c + 15w = 226

• 10c + 12w = 226, 15c + 5w = 186.25

• 15c + 5w = 226, 10c + 12w = 186.25

7.The Franco family have to order candles for their wedding decorations. They want x “single wick candles” and y “3 wick candles”. They have $350 to spend on all the candles. The cost of "single wick candles" is $10 and “3 wick candles” cost $15. They want the total amount of single wick candles to be 10 greater than 3 wick candles. They use the equations 15x + 10y = 350 and x+10 = y. Are these equations set up correctly?

• Only the first equation is correct

• Only the second equation is correct

• Neither equation is correct

• Both Equations are correct
