Jenna was selling muffins and bagels in the lobby to support the math club. Bagels sold for $0.75 and muffins sold for $1.50. She sold three times as many bagels as muffins and made $112.50 this morning.

Which of the following systems correctly models this situation?

A. 3B-M=0

0.75B+1.50M=112.5

B. B-3M=112.50

0.75B+1.50M=0

C. B-3M=0

0.75B+1.50M=112.50

D. B+3M=0

0.75B-1.50M=112.50
