Question

A business has $15,000 to spend on airline tickets to travel to a conference. It wants 27 of its employees to attend. The business wants to buy as many business-class seats as possible. The business-class seats cost $700. The economy-class seats cost $375. Create a system of equations that models how many of each type of ticket the business should purchase.

A.
700x + 375y = 27
x + y = 15,000

B.
x + 375y = 15,000
700x + y = 27

C.
700x + y = 15,000
x + 375y = 27

D.
700x + 375y = 15,000
x + y = 27

Answer 1

and anyone can help

Answer 2

We can remove options B and C from the list because we need an equation that contains the 700 + 375 first in the equation because they are the main variables, so from A and D, which one do you think sets up the equation?
