Question 286044: The sales representative here tells you they also have two floor plans available, but they only have 42 homes available. The representative tells you that floor plan #1 sells for $100,000 and floor plan #2 sells for $150,000. She also mentions that all the available houses combined are worth $6 million. Write a system of equations that illustrates this situation. Use x to represent floor plan #1 and y to represent floor plan #2.
( I think the equations would be x + 100,000 = 6,000,000 and y + 150,000 =6,000,000 But im second guessing myself.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! The sales representative here tells you they also have two floor plans available, but they only have 42 homes available. The representative tells you that floor plan #1 sells for $100,000 and floor plan #2 sells for $150,000. She also mentions that all the available houses combined are worth $6 million. Write a system of equations that illustrates this situation. Use x to represent floor plan #1 and y to represent floor plan #2.
( I think the equations would be x + 100,000 = 6,000,000 and y + 150,000 =6,000,000 But im second guessing myself.)
-------------------------------------------------
Quantity Equation: x + y = 42
Value equation:100,000x + 150,000y = 6,000,000
