Question

A company sells boxes of cow bells (b) for $20 and boxes of air horns (h) for $30. They can make a batch of cow bells that fills 8 boxes or a batch of air horns that fills 9 boxes. The company only has 53 boxes. Which system of equations helps the company plan to make $275?

A. b = 53 - h
8b + 9h = 53


B. 8b = 53 - 9h
20b + 30h = 275

C. b = 53 - h
20b + 30h = 275

D. 8b = 53 - 9h
20b - 30h = 275

Answer 2

cow bells (b) for 20 and air horns (h) for 30....plan to make 275
20b + 30h = 275

1 batch of airhorns ( 9 boxes) + 1 batch of cow bells (8 boxes) = 53 boxes
8b + 9h = 53
8b = 53 - 9h

answer is B
