The Jackson Jammers are giving away bags and caps at their next game. The bags, bcost them $10 each, and the caps, ccost 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 x represent the number of bags given away and y represent the number of caps given away.

The total number of items given away is 2,000, so:
x + y = 2,000

The total cost of the bags and caps cannot exceed the budget of $12,500, so:
10x + 5y ≤ 12,500

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