4. Frankie wants to buy 18 pumpkins to decorate his front porch. He is going to purchase white pumpkins for
$12 and orange pumpkins for $8. He ended up spending a total of $192 dollar at the pumpkin patch. (N-Q.1)
This situation is represented by the following system of equations.
+ = 18 and 12 + 8 = 192
a. What do each of the variables represent?
x: white pumpkins

y: orange pumpkins

b. What do each of the equations model?

+ = 18 Models: _how many of each type of pumpkin he purchased, and the total amount he
purchased.
12 + 8 = 192 Models: _How much money he spent on each type of pumpkin, and the total amount
spent _

c. Find the solution to the system using the graph provided. Explain your answer in terms of the context.
Solution: _(, )_

Explanation:
He purchased 12 white pumpkins and 6 orange pumpkins.
