The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32. Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75. Write a system of equations to represent the situation.

• 5q + 2z = 1.32

  1z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 1.32

  3q + 1z = 0.75

• q + z = 1.32

  q + z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 0.75

  3q + 1z = 1.32

The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $38. The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets. Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 1s + 3c = 38

  2s + 3c = 52

• 3s + 1c = 38

  3s + 2c = 52

• s + c = 38

  s + c = 52

• 3s + 3c = 38

  1s + 2c = 52

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?

• 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

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 system of equations represents the situation?

• 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
