David is running a concession stand at a soccer game. He sells nachos and sodas. Nachos cost $1.50 each and sodas cost $0.50 each. At the end of the game, David made a total of $78.50 and sold a total of 87 nachos and sodas combined. Which system of equations represents this situation?

• 1.5x+0.5y=78.5
  x+y=87

• 1.5x+0.5y=78.5
  1.5x+0.5y=87

• x+y=78.5
  1.5x+0.5y=87

• x+y=78.5
  x+y=87

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  How long does it take her to do a haircut?
3x + 2y = 315
2x + 4y = 450

• 45 minutes

• 90 minutes
  2x + 4y = 315

• 60 minutes
  3x + 4y = 450

• 30 minutes

There are 50 donkeys and chickens on a far.  There are a total of 174 legs.  Which system below can be used to figure out how many of each animal the farm has?

• d + c = 174
  4d + 2c = 50

• d + c = 50
  4d + 2c = 174

• d + c = 50
  2d + 4c = 174

• d + c = 174
  2d + 4c = 50
