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. Which equations could be used to determine the cost of the coffee?
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
