Choose the correct answer.

Nancy bought 360 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 8 times as many goldfish as angelfish. How many of each type of fish did she buy?

Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents the number of angelfish Nancy bought, and y represents the number of goldfish she bought?

x – y = 360
y = 8x

x + y = 360
y = 8x

x + y = 8
y = 360x

x + 8y = 360
y = 8x
