Shenika is selling magazine subscriptions for the animal shelter. A yearly subscription to a story magazine is $12.50. A yearly subscription to a puzzle magazine is $14. She raised a total of $1,225 for the animal shelter. The number of subscriptions to the story magazine, s, is 20 more than twice the number of subscriptions to the puzzle magazine, p. Which system of equations finds the number of each magazine sold?
Accepted Solution
A:
He correct answer is the second choice.
Think about what parts of the story go together, and these will be the parts of the math problem.
14 goes with the puzzle magazines, and a 12.5 goes with the story magazines.
For the second equation it tells us s would be 20 more than twice the number of subscriptions to the puzzle magazines, so think of twice the puzzles would be 2p and 20 more I would be +20.
