Basic MathA vendor at a craft show sold items for $4.50, $6.00, and $7.50.
Altogether, the vendor sold 87 items for a total of $489. The vendor
sold 5 more items for $6.00 than for $7.50. Which system of equations
could you use to determine how many of each item were sold?
Ax + y + z = 87
z = y + 5
4.5x + 6y + 7.5z = 489
B) x + y + z = 87
y = z + 5
4.5x + 6y + 7.5z = 489
x + y + z = 489
y = z + 5
4.5x + 6y + 7.5z = 87
Dx + y + z = 489
