Given:

Money I want to earn is $250 each week

I earn $10 per working hour as a lifegaurd and $8 per hour at a concession stand.

Total available hours to work is 30.

To find : The system of equations satisfies the statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours working as a lifegaurd and y be the number of hours earned at concession stand.

As x and y represents the hours so the total hours is written as:


x+y=30

Equation with the total money earned.


10x+8y=250

Therefore, the final system of equations are:


\begin{gathered} x+y=30 \\ 10x+8y=250 \end{gathered}

Therefore, Option C is the final answer.
