The drama club is selling short-sleeved shirts for $5 each, and long-sleeved shirts for $10 each. They hope to sell all of the shirts they ordered, to earn a total of $1,750. After the first week of the fundraiser, they sold 1/3 of the short-sleeved shirts and 1/2 of the long-sleeved shirts, for a total of 100 shirts. This system of equations models the situation. 5x + 10y = 1,750 1/3x + 1/2 y = 100
