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.
(Let c represent coffee and d represent doughnuts )
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

Nancy went to the grocery story. On Monday she purchased 4 apples and 6 bananas for a total of $13. On Wednesday she purchased 3 apples and 7 bananas for a total of $13.50. Which system of equations represents the situation?
(Let x represent apples and y represent bananas)
4x + 6y = 3
13.5x - 13y = 6
x + y = 4
x - y = 6
4x + 6y = 13
3x + 7y = 13.5
4x - 6y = 13
3x - 7y = 13.5
