The next week, the same group of friends bought 3 containers of popcorn and 6 granola bars for $34.50. Let p represent the cost of one container of popcorn. Let g represent the cost of one granola bar. Which system of equations will solve for p and g?

A. 5p+4g=34.50
3p+6g=42.50

B. 4p+5g=34.50
3p+6g=42.50

C. 4p+5g=42.50
6p+3g=34.50

D. 5p+4g=42.50
3p+6g=34.50

5p + 4g = 42.5
3p + 6g = 34.5

15p + 12g = 127.5
-6p - 12g = -69
9p = 58.5
p = 6.5
g = 2.5

popcorn = $6.50
granola = $2.50
A is the answer
