Question

Annika sells 6 inch pies for $5.00 and 8 inch pies for $9.00 each. Last week she sold twice as many 6 inch pies as she did 8 inch pies. She made $133.00 from her sales. Annika defined x as the number of 6 inch pies she sold and y as the number of 8 inch pies she sold. She wrote the system below.

6 x + 8 y = 133. 2 x = y.

Which statements about the system are true? Check all that apply.
Since the cost for each pie is $5 and $9, the first equation should be 5 x + 9 y = 133.
Since the 8 inch pies are 2 inches larger, the second equation should be x + 2 = y.
Since there are fewer 8 inch pies, the second equation should be x = 2 y to balance the values.
The first equation is correct because 6x represents the money earned for 6 inch pies and 8y represents the money earned for 8 inch pies.
The second equation is correct because there are more 6 inch pies and 2 times a number is always more.

Answer 1

Only option 1 is correct

Answer 2

See below!

Explanation:

Only the first choice is accurate.

The second choice is incorrect since it doesn't accurately represent the situation described.

The third choice is incorrect since it also doesn't accurately represent the situation described.

The fourth choice is incorrect since the equation is meant to show the cost of the pies, not the size.

While the fifth choice is correct in that the second equation is accurate, the reasoning is inaccurate.
