Hanna shops for socks that cost $2.99 for each pair and blouses that cost $12.99 each. Let x represent the number of pairs of socks purchased, and let y represent the number of blouses purchased. Which equation models the purchases she made with $43.92? x + y = 15.98 x + y = 43.92 43.92x - 2.99y = 12.99 2.99x + 12.99y = 43.92

A man paid $\$ 89$ for two shirts and four pairs of socks. If we let $x=$ the cost of a shirt, in dollars, and $y=$ the cost of a pair of socks, in dollars, an equation modeling the purchase is $2 x+4 y=89 .$ Explain why there is not enough information to determine the cost of a shirt or the cost of a pair of socks.

Bailey's Boutique Clothing is having a 20$\%$ off sale during which shirts $\operatorname{cost} \$ 30.00$ and pants cost $\$ 60.00$ . On the day of the sale, Bailey's sells a total of 60 shirts and pants and earned a total of $\$ 2,250 .$ On a regular day, Bailey's sells $\frac{2}{3}$ the number of shirts and pants sold during the sale and earns a total of $\$ 1,875 .$ Solving which of the following systems of equations yields the number of shirts, $s$ , and the number of pants, $p,$ sold during a regular day? A) $\quad s+p=40$ $37.5 s+75 p=1,875$ B) $\quad s+p=40$ $30 s+60 p=2,250$ C) $\quad s+p=60$ $30 s+60 p=2,250$ D) $\quad s+p=2,250$ $30 s+60 p=60$
