The student council is selling school supplies as a fund raiser. Josh bought four pencils and two ballpoint pens for $0.74. Zach bought six pencils and five ballpoint pens for $1.53. Write a system of equations that can be used to find the cost of a pencil and the cost of a ballpoint pen where "p" represents pencils and "b" represents ballpoints pens.

Group of answer choices

A 4p+2b=.744 p + 2 b = .74
6p+5b=1.536 p + 5 b = 1.53


B4p-2b=.744 p − 2 b = .74
6p-5b=-1.536 p − 5 b = − 1.53

C 4b+2p=.744 b + 2 p = .74
6b+5p=1.536 b + 5 p = 1.53


D 4p+2b=1.534 p + 2 b = 1.53
6p+5b=.74
