Nancy bought 360 tropical fish for a museum display. She bought 8 times as many gold fish as angel fish. How many of each type of fish did she buy?


Which is a system of equation to model the problem if x represents the number of angel fish Nancy bought and y represents the number of gold fish she bought?

Ax - y = 360

y = 8x

Bx + y = 360

y = 8x

Cx + y = 8

y = 360x

Dx + 8y = 360

y = 8x

the answer is b.
if you think about it, the details say that she bought 360 fish, 8 times more than goldfish than angel fish. if the gold fish were x, and the angle fish were y, it would be x+y=360 with y=8x. it is addition because the TOTAL is a combination of angel fish and gold fish. you aren't subtracting anything.
