Q:

Each month, Kaisorn deposits $50.00 onto her public transportation card. It costs her $2.50 per trip to ride the subway. Thom deposits $40.00 on his public transportation card. It costs him $2.00 per trip to ride the subway. If x represents the number of trips and y represents the amount remaining in each account, which system of equations represents their transportation costs? 50 − 2.5x = y 40 − 2x = y 50 + 2.5x = y 40 + 2x = y 50 − 2.5y = x 40 − 2y = x 50 + 2.5y = x 40 + 2y = x
