Sagot :

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

For the given situation, system of equations is represented by

3x + 4y = 4.25

5x + 2y = 4.75

What is system of equations?

"A system of equations is a finite set of equations for which we find the common solution."

According to question,

x represents number of apples

y represents number of oranges.

Two situations are given for which we need to find out which system of equations it represents.

Situation 1 : Thomas paid $4.25 for the three apples and four oranges , which can be represented by equation:

3x + 4y = 4.25

Situation 2: Casey paid $4.75 for five apples and two oranges, which can be represented by equation:

5x + 2y = 4.75

Hence we can conclude that Option B is correct.
