Question 30

Multiple Choice

Write a system of equations to describe the problem situation. It is not necessary to solve the problem. Restaurants buy 10-pound and 25-pound bags of carrots. They want five times as many 10-pound bags (x) as 25-pound bags (y) . If the company estimates that restaurants will buy 450 pounds of carrots, how many bags of each size should be packaged?


A) y=5x,10x+25y=450y = 5 x , 10 x + 25 y = 450
B) x=5y,10y25x=450x = 5 y , 10 y - 25 x = 450
C) x=5y,x+y=450x = 5 y , x + y = 450
D) y=5x,x+y=450y = 5 x , x + y = 450
E) x=5y,10x+25y=450x = 5 y , 10 x + 25 y = 450
