A store owner buys a total of 4,000 items for two different products. For shipping costs, it is $0.10 per item of product A and $0.04 per item of product B. If the total shipping cost is $352, which system of equations can be used to determine how much of product A and product B the store owner bought?

It's C: x+y=4,000 and 0,1x+0.04y=352

x + y = 4,000
0.1x + 0.04y = 352

Product A represents x and product B represents y. The first equation is the total number of items the store owner buys. The second equation is cost per item for both products. The above system of equations can be used to determine how much product A and product B the store owner bought.
