The correct pair of linear equations that models this situation is:
D. b + c = 2,000; 5c + 10b = 12,500
This is because the first equation represents the total number of items being given away, where b represents the number of bags and c represents the number of caps. The second equation represents the cost of the items, where 10b represents the cost of the bags and 5c represents the cost of the caps.
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 a pair of linear equations that model this situation.
A. b + c = 12,500; 5b + 10c = 2,000
B. b + c = 12,500; 10b + 5c = 2,000
C. b + c = 2,000; 10b + 5c = 12,500
D. b + c = 2,000; 5c + 10b = 12,500
PLS HELP.
