3 TV's & 2 computers: 3*$72 + 2*$90 = $396
4 TV's & 1 computer: 4*$72 + 1*$90 = $378
0 TV's & 4 computers: 0*$72 + 4*$90 = $360

x = t.v's and y = computers
(A) 5(72) + 2(90) = 360 + 180 = 540
     3(72) + 3(90) = 216 + 270 = 486
     1(72) + 4(90) = 72 + 360 = 432
(B) 4(72) + 0(90) = 288 ---> will not work
(C) 3(72) + 1(90) = 216 + 90 = 306 --> will not work
(D) 4(72) + 0 (90) = 288 --> will not work

This could be completely wrong....but I am going to say A.
