A restaurant freezes a cherry and lime juice mixture to create slushes. Cherry juice costs $5 per quart, and lime juice costs $3

per quart. Each day, the restaurant spends a total of $36 on 8 quarts of juice. The restaurant manager organizes the information in the table below.

Which equation can be used to determine the amount of cherry juice in each mixture?

5c + 3(8 – c) = 36

5c + 3(8 – c) = 8

c + (8 – c) = 8

c + 5 = 5c
