On a family outing, Tyler bought 5 cups of hot cocoa and 4 pretzels for $18.40. Some of his family members would like a second serving, so he went back to the same food stand and bought another 2 cups of hot cocoa and 4 pretzels for $11.20.

(2.4, 1.6) means c = $2.40 and p = $1.60 — each cup of hot cocoa costs $2.40 and each pretzel costs $1.60.

None of the given choices state that correctly (choice 4 reverses the two).
