The Jackson jammers are giving away bags and craps at their next game. The bags, b, cost them $10 each, and the caps, c, cost them $5 each. They plan to give away 2000 total items and have a budget of $12500. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation
The pair of linear equations that model this situation can be written as:
b + c = 2000 (equation 1)
10b + 5c = 12500 (equation 2)
In equation 1, b represents the number of bags and c represents the number of caps. The sum of bags and caps is 2000.
In equation 2, the cost of bags (10b) plus the cost of caps (5c) is equal to the budget of $12500.
