A. 50 sets of $15
150 sets of $35
 
$15 x 50= $750
$35 x 150= $5250
$750+$5250=$6000

Fellow tutor recommendation:
Explaining, illustrating to the student that this is a problem
involving solving a system of simultaneous equations in two 
variables (to be solved by either graphing, elimination, or
substitution; graphing most appropriate for this problem wording)
would be more beneficial than just supplying the student with
an equation(s) proving an answer is correct.
