Let x be the number of bags and y be the number of caps.
The total number of items given away is the sum of the bags and caps:
x + y = 2000
The total cost is the cost of the bags ($10 each) times the number of bags plus the cost of the caps ($5 each) times the number of caps:
10x + 5y = 12500
Therefore, the pair of linear equations is:
x + y = 2000
10x + 5y = 12500
The Jackson jammers are giving Away bags and cap at their next game. The bags be cost them $10 each and the caps see cost them five dollars each. They plan to give away 2000 total items and have a budget of $12,500. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation.
