Question
The Lincoln High School Student Council wants to raise $300 to make a donation to a homeless
shelter. To help the students earn the money, the principal has agreed to pay $15 for each
member who picks up litter outside, p, and $10 for each member who cleans the hallways, c. All
25 members of the student council will be participating. Write the pair of linear equations that
model this situation. (1 point)
O p+c=25; 15p+ 10c = 300
O p+c=300; 15p+ 10c = 25
O p+c=25; 10p+ 15c = 300
O p+c=300; 10p+ 15c = 25

The correct pair of linear equations that model the situation is:
\[
p + c = 25
\]
\[
15p + 10c = 300
\]
This represents the total number of members participating (25) and the total amount of money raised ($300).
So the answer is:
**O p+c=25; 15p+ 10c = 300**
\[
p + c = 25
\]
\[
15p + 10c = 300
\]
This represents the total number of members participating (25) and the total amount of money raised ($300).
So the answer is:
**O p+c=25; 15p+ 10c = 300**
