Christian had brochures printed for a new business venture. Christian originally ordered 4 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of colour brochures, which cost a total of $134. After those ran out, Christian spent $120 on 3 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of colour brochures. Which simultaneous equations represent this situation?

• x+y=134

  x+y=120

• 3x+3y=134

  4x+3y=120

• 4x+3y=134

  3x+3y=120

• 7xy=134

  6xy=120

A man has 100 shares of stock A and 200 shares of stock B. The total value is $420. If he sells 50 shares of stock A and buys 60 shares of stock B the value is now $402. Find the price of each share.

• A = $2, B = $1
• A = $1, B = $2
• A = $1.20, B = $1.80
• A = $1.80, B = $1.20
