Charlotte works at an electronics store as a salesperson. Charlotte earns a 10% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sales she makes, and earns a 4% commission on all computer sales. Charlotte had twice as much in computer sales as she had in phone sales and earned a total of $162 in commission. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the dollar amount of phone sales Charlotte made and the dollar amount of computer sales she made. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Two teachers, Mrs. Dewsbury and Mrs. Pettit, decide to buy calculators and stickers for their classrooms. Mrs. Dewsbury buys 30 calculators and 50 pages of stickers for $95. Mrs. Pettit buys 40 calculators and 40 pages of stickers of each for $116. Write a system of equations to represent the cost of one calculator, c, and one page of stickers, p. A. c + p = 120 70c + 90p = 211 B. c + p = 211 30c + 50p = 40c + 40p C. 30c + 50p = 95 40cp = 116 D. 30c + 50p = 95 40c + 40p = 116
