A company sells boxes of small blue pom-poms (b) for $42 and boxes of large orange pom-poms (p) for $52. They make batches of small blue pom-poms that fill 8 boxes and batches of large orange pom-poms that fill 4 boxes. The company only has 40 boxes. Which system of equations helps the company plan to make $350?

A) b = 40 − p
8b + 4p = 40
B) b = 40 − p
42b + 52p = 350
C) 8b = 40 − 4p
42b − 52p = 350
D) 8b = 40 − 4p
42b + 52p = 350

if b is the amount of blue ones, and p is the amount of orange ones.

Can you give me an equation that would suggest we sold a total of 40 once we sold out?

zzr0ck3r · Answer

like say we had  30 of one and 10 of another

30+10 = 40

zzr0ck3r · Answer

but what if we had b of one color and p of the other, what does that become?

anonymous · Answer

so it would be A?
