Answer:
The answer is most likely c.)
Step-by-step explanation:
It says that they sold 40 scarves and hats at the Winter Festival, but it never told us exactly how many hats total and how many scarves total that they sold. So we leave it as "s+h=40" Next we have the price of the scarves and hats, not the numbers sold. Since the scarves cost $18 and the hats cost $14, we know that a certain amount of each equals $700. Since we don't know the exact number of each that were sold, we leave it at "18s+14h=700." Sorry if you got a bit lost.
