Hiro and Sofia purchased shirts and pants from a store. The price of each shirt purchased was the same and the price of each pair of pants purchased was the same. Hiro purchased 4 shirts and 2 pairs of pants for $86, and Sofia purchased 3 shirts and 5 pairs of pants for $166. Which of the following systems of linear equations represents the situation, if x represents the price, in dollars, of each shirt and y represents the price, in dollars, of each pair of pants?

  1. A

    4 x plus 2 y, equals 86, and, 3 x plus 5 y, equals 166

  2. B

    4 x plus 3 y, equals 86, and, 2 x plus 5 y, equals 166

  3. C

    4 x plus 2 y, equals 166, and, 3 x plus 5 y, equals 86

  4. D

    4 x plus 3 y, equals 166, and, 2 x plus 5 y, equals 86
