Alicia purchased H half-gallons of ice cream for $3.50 each and P packages of ice cream cones for
$2.50 each. She purchased 14 items and spent $43. Which system of equations could be used to
determine how many of each item Alicia purchased?
(1) 3.50H + 2.50P = 43 (3) 3.50H + 2.50P = 14
H+P = 14
H+ P = 43
(2) 3.50P+2.50H = 43
P+ H = 14
(4) 3.50P + 2.50H = 14
P+H = 43
