We have $944.00 to spend on gravel for a drive. Fine gravel costs $26.00 per ton, while coarse gravel costs $16.00 per ton. We need a total of 42.00 tons of gravel.  
A:  Using F fine gravel and C for coarse gravel, both in tons, write a system of two equations that determine the amount of each to be purchased. Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.B: How much of each type of gravel was purchased? Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.

What will be an ideal response?


A:

?

B:  27.20 tons of fine gravel and 14.80 tons of coarse gravel.
