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

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.)

a)

x + y = 6

14.80x + 17y = 91

b)

x + y = 91

14.80x + 17y = 6

c)

x + y = 6

14.80y + 17x = 91

Josh is thinking of two numbers.  Their sum is -10 and their difference is -2.  Which system of equations represents the situation?
a)
x - y = -10
x + y = -2
b)
x = -2 
y = 5
c)
x + y = -2
x - y = -10
d)
x + y = -10
x - y = -2

Some students want to order shirts with their school logo. One company charges $9.65 per shirt plus a setup fee of $43. Another company charges $8.40 per shirt plus a $58 fee. Which equation represents the number of shirts when both companies charge the same amount? 
a)
y = 9.65 + x
y = 8.40 + x
b)
y = 9.65x + 43
y = 8.40x + 58
c)
y =9.65x
y = 8.40x
d)
y = 9.65x - 43
y = 8.40x - 58

Three friends went to the movies. Each purchased a medium-sized popcorn for $6.50 and a small soft drink. Which equation can be used to determine the cost of each if they paid $31.50?

a)

3(x + 6.50) = 31.50

b)

3(x + 31.50) = 6.50

c)

3x + 6.50 = 31.50

d)

3x + 31.50 = 6.50
