Chad and Sam went to the candy store. Chad bought 5 pieces of fudge and 3 pieces of bubble gum for a total of $5.70. Sam bought 2 pieces of fudge and 10 pieces of bubble gum for a total of $3.60.
Which system of equations could be used to determine the cost of 1 piece of fudge, f, and 1 piece of bubble gum, g?
Responses
A 5f + 3g = 5.70
2f + 10g = 3.605 f + 3 g = 5.70 2 f + 10 g = 3.60
B 3f + 5g = 5.70
2f + 10g = 3.603 f + 5 g = 5.70 2 f + 10 g = 3.60
C 5f + 3g = 5.70
10f + 2g = 3.605 f + 3 g = 5.70 10 f + 2 g = 3.60
D 5f - 3g = 5.70
2f + 10g = 3.60
The correct answer is A: 5f + 3g = 5.70 and 2f + 10g = 3.60.
This choice includes equations that represent the number of pieces of fudge and bubble gum purchased by Chad and Sam, as well as the total cost of their purchases.
