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

An apartment complex has 1-bedroom apartments and 2-bedroom apartments. There are a total of 78 apartments in the complex, and there are twice as many 2-bedroom apartments as 1-bedroom apartments. If you want to find the number of apartments of each type, which system of equations could be used to solve the problem? Let x be the number of 1-bedroom apartments, and let y be the number of 2-bedroom apartments. A. x + y = 78 2 + y = x B. x + y = 78 2x = y C. x + y = 78 2y = x D. x + 2y = 78 2y = x E. x + 2y = 78 2x = y
