The number of full-time employees of a paper manufacturing company is 4 more than 4 times the number of part-time employees.
The company has 94 employees in all. Let x equal the number of full-time employees and let y equal the number of part-time employees.
Which system of equations could be solved to find the number of full-time employees? 

A. x + y  = 94,  y = 4x + 4    

B. x + 4y = 90,  y = 4x - 4

C. x + 4y = 90,  x = 4y - 4

D. x +  y = 94,  x = 4y + 4     <<<---=== This one, and only this.

The company has 94 employees in all. Let x equal the number of full-time employees and let y equal the number of part-time employees.
full-time + part-time =all employees
x equal full-time + y equal part-time= 94 employees in all
x+y=94
That eliminates B and C which leaves A or D
full-time employees of a paper manufacturing company is 4 more than 4 times the number of part-time employees.
x equal full-time
y equal part-time
more means add
times means multiply
4 more than 4 times the number of part-time employees (y)
x=4 + 4y which is equivalent to x=4y+4 which is D
D is the answer
