Samaia buys two water bottles and three bags of chips for $9.45. Abdullah goes to the same store and buys four water bottles, as Samaia, and five bags of chips, same as ones Samaia bought, for $14.75. Which choice below accurately represents a system of equations, w for water bottles and c for chips, for this scenario? Each water bottle is same price and each bag of chips is same price.
A) 3w + 2c = 9.45 AND 5w + 4c = 14.75
B ) 2w + 3c = 9.45 AND 4w + 5c = 14.75
C) 2w + 3c = 14.75 AND 4w + 5c = 9.45
D) 5c + 9w = $24.20
