County residents pay $8 to use the climbing wall and nonresidents pay $10. A group of 11 friends pays a total of $96 to climb on the wall.
1) Write a linear equation using x for quantity of county residents and y for quantity of nonresidents, to model the total number of friends.
2) Write another linear equation using x and y to model the total amount of money the friends paid.

A. x + y = 11
18(x + y) = 96

B. x + y = 96
(x)(y) = 96

C. x + y = 11
8x + 96 = 10y

D. x + y = 11
8x + 10y = 96
