Question

The knitting club sold 40 scarves and hats at a winter festival and made $700 from the sales. They charged $18 for each scarf and $14 for each hat.



If s represents the number of scarves sold and h represents the number of hats sold, which system of equations represents the constraints of the situation?

Group of answer choices



A. s + h =40

18s +14h = 700

B. 18s +14h =40

s + h =700

C. 40s + h +700

18s + 14h = 700

D. No answer text provided.

Answer 1

Answer:

s+h=40

Step-by-step explanation:

we are trying to find the number of carves and hats sold, not how much they cost in total.

Answer 2

Answer:

               A.       s + h = 40

                       18s + 14h = 700

Step-by-step explanation:

club sold 40 scarves and hats so the sum of scarves and hats is 40

s + h = 40       - one of equations

They charged $18 for each scarf and $14 for each hat so:

18×s   - money made from scarves

14×h   - money made from hats

18s + 14h  - sum of money made from scarves and hats so:

18s + 14h = 700      - second of equatinons
