Write a System of Equations to Describe the Problem Situation $x = 54 + y , 6.55 x + 9.20 y = 481$

question 61

Multiple Choice

Write a system of equations to describe the problem situation. It is not necessary to solve the problem. Paolo earns $481 from working 54 total hours at two jobs. He earns $6.55 per hour (x) at the first job and $9.20 per hour (y) at the second job.

• A) \(x = 54 + y , 6.55 x + 9.20 y = 481\)
• B) \(x + y = 54,9.20 x + 6.55 y = 481\)
• C) \(x + y = 54,6.55 x + 9.20 y = 481\)
• D) \(x + y = 54,6.55 x - 9.20 y = 481\)
• E) \(x - y = 54,655 x + 9.20 y = 481\)
