Tree pruning company A charges a one time $100 fee and $50 for each tree that they prune. Tree pruning company B charges a one time $80 fee and $60 for each tree that they prune.

Let the variable t represent the amount trees pruned and c represent the cost. For how many pruned trees will the cost be the same for both companies?

Which system of equations can be used to solve this problem?

{c=100-50t c=80-60t

{c=50+100t c=60+80t

{c=150t c=140t

{c=100+50t c=80+60t
