1. You and some friends buy a total of 9 snacks at the concessions stand at a Twins game. Hot dogs cost $4.25 each, and soda pop costs $5.00 each. You spend a total of $40.50 on the snacks. Leth represent the number of hot dogs you bought and p represent the number of soda pops you bought. (a) Write a system of linear equations to represent the situation. (There should be two equations.) (b) Solve your system using any method to find the number of hot dogs you bought and the number of soda pops you bought.

Select the system of equations that represents this situation. Use c to represent the cost of a cup of coffee and w to represent the cost of a bottle of water. 6 cups of coffee and 2 bottles of water cost $14. 8 cups of coffee and 1 bottle of water cost $17. A. 6c+ 2w = 14 8c + w = 17 B. 2c + 6w = 14 c+ 8w = 17 C. c+ w = 17 6c + 2w = 14 D. 6c+ 8w = 14 2c+ w = 17
