    The school that Stefan goes to is selling tickets to a choral performance. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 3 senior citizen tickets and 1 child ticket for a total of $38. The school took in $52 on the second day by selling 3 senior citizen tickets and 2 child tickets. Which equations represents the system that could be used? 
    1s + 3c = 38
    2s + 3c = 52
    3s + 1c = 38
    3s + 2c = 52
    s + c = 38
    s + c = 52
    3s + 3c = 38
    1s + 2c = 52

    Last season two running backs on the Steelers football team rushed a combined total of 1550 yards.  One rushed 4 times as many yards as the other.  Let x and y represent the number of yards each individual player rushed. Which system of equations could be used? 
    x + y = 1550
    y  = 4x
    x + y = 1550
    y = x + 4
    y - x = 1550
    y = 4x
    y = 1550 + x
    y = x + 4

    Dennis mowed his next door neighbor’s lawn for a handful of dimes and nickels, 80 coins in all.  Upon completing the job he counted out the coins and it came to $6.60.  Which system of equations could be used to find the exact number of dimes and nickels? 
    d + n = 6.60
    .10d + .05n = 80
    d + n = 80
    d + n = 6.60
    d + n = 80
    .10d + .05n = 6.60
    d + n = 80
    .05d + .10n = 6.60
