    Let x be the price for adults and y be the price for children at the restaurant. The total amount paid by the Taylor family is $40.50 and may be expressed as 2x + 3y. That of the Wong family may be expressed as 3x + y and amounts to $38. Thus, the system of linear equation is,

    2x + 3y = 40.50

    3x + y = 38

    The answer therefore is letter C.
