The first kind was priced at $3.45 per pound, and the second was priced at $1.12 per pound. In all, $83.56 was taken in for the two types of jelly beans. How many pounds of each kind were sold? (Let x represent the number of pounds of the first kind and y represent the number of pounds of the second.)

A. x + y = 33, 3.45x + 1.12y = 83.56
B. x + y = 4.57, 3.45x + 1.12y = 83.56
C. x + y = 33, 4.57x + y = 83.56
D. x + y = 83.56, 3.45x + 1.12y = 33
