Write a real world scenario that goes with least one system of equations

Answer 1

Scenario:

A souvenir shop sells t-shirts and hats as merchandise. The shop owner wants to calculate how many t-shirts and hats to order for an upcoming event.

Let's say the t-shirts cost $10 each, and the hats cost $15 each. The owner wants to spend a maximum of $200 on ordering merchandise. Additionally, they want to order a total of 20 items (t-shirts and hats combined).

We can set up a system of equations to represent this scenario:

Let x be the number of t-shirts ordered and y be the number of hats ordered.

10x + 15y = 200 (total cost equation)
x + y = 20 (total items equation)

By solving this system of equations, the owner can figure out how many t-shirts and hats they should order to stay within budget and meet their quantity requirements.
