Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.75 Solving Real World Problems with Systems of Equations skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
An amusement park used some single-seat ride cars and some double-seat ride cars. There were 14 ride cars altogether and 22 seats in all. Let x be the number of single-seat ride cars and y be the number of double-seat ride cars. How many double-seat ride cars were there?
Solution & Explanation:Write x + y = 14 and 1x + 2y = 22. Eliminate x to solve for y, giving y = 8. So there were 8 double-seat ride cars.
Problem 2Difficulty: Hard
A garden center built some small boxes that needed 3 stakes each and some large boxes that needed 5 stakes each. There were 21 garden boxes altogether and 87 stakes in all. Let x be the number of small boxes and y be the number of large boxes. Which system of equations and solution match the situation?
Ax + y = 21 and 5x + 3y = 87; solution (12, 9)
Bx - y = 21 and 3x + 5y = 87; solution (9, 12)
Cx + y = 21 and 3x + 5y = 87; solution (9, 12)
Dx + y = 21 and 3x + 5y = 87; solution (12, 9)
Solution & Explanation:Use x + y = 21 for the total number of garden boxes and 3x + 5y = 87 for the total stakes. Solving gives (9, 12), so there were 9 small boxes and 12 large boxes.
Problem 3Difficulty: Hard
A snack station packed some small packs with 4 granola bars each and some large packs with 6 granola bars each. There were 17 packs altogether and 86 granola bars in all. Let x be the number of small packs and y be the number of large packs. How many large packs were there?
Solution & Explanation:Write x + y = 17 and 4x + 6y = 86. Eliminate x to solve for y, giving y = 9. So there were 9 large packs.
