The Jackson Jammers are giving away bags and caps at their next game. The bags, b , cost them $10 each, and the caps, c , cost them $5 each. They plan to give away 2,000 total items and have a budget of $12,500. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation.(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's define the number of bags as b and the number of caps as c.

Based on the given information, we can create the following equations:

1. The total number of items is 2,000:
b + c = 2,000

2. The total cost of the items is $12,500:
10b + 5c = 12,500

Therefore, the pair of linear equations that model this situation is:
b + c = 2,000
10b + 5c = 12,500
