Hi there!

The answer is B.
the cost of the game.

We need to know the cost of the game in order to find out how many weeks John has to save money. If we don't know this price, we'll never know whether John has saved enough money.

We can find out the total amount of money John can save in 1 week (so A. is not the answer). The amount of money John earns per hour doesn't matter to answer the question (so C. is wrong).

~ Hope this helps you!

Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions. The multiple choice questions x are worth 5 points and the

hram777 [196]

x + y = 15 and 5x + 10y = 100 are the system of equations that represent this situation

Solution:

Let "x" be the number of multiple choice questions

Let "y" be the number of short answer questions

Worth of 1 multiple choice questions = 5 points

Worth of 1 short answer question = 10 points

Ms. Lee wrote a test with 15 multiple choice short answer questions

Therefore,

number of multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions = 15

x + y = 15 -------- eqn 1

The maximum number of points possible on the test is 100

Therefore, we frame a equation as:

number of multiple choice questions x Worth of 1 multiple choice questions + number of short answer questions x Worth of 1 short answer question = 100

$x \times 5 + y \times 10=100$
