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? 
a)
10c + 5d = 14.25
5c + 10d = 16.50
b)
10c + 5d = 16.50
5c + 10d = 14.25
c)
c + d = 10
5c + 10d = 16.50
d)
c + d = 5
5c + 10d = 16.50
13.

15.
A large pizza at Palanzio’s Pizzeria costs $6.80 plus $0.90 for each topping. The cost of a large cheese pizza at Guido’s Pizza is $7.30 plus $0.65 for each topping. Which system of equations could be used to find the number of toppings when both companies cost the same amount? 
a)
y = 6.80 + .65x
y=7.30+.90x
b)
x + y = 6.80
x + y = 7.30
c)
y = 6.80+.90x
y = 7.30 + .65x
d)
y + .90x = 6.80
y + .65x = 7.30
