Each of 36 students at a school play bought either a cup of orange juice or a sandwich. A cup of orange juice costs $1 and a sandwich costs $3. The total amount collected was $76. How many students bought orange juice, and how many bought a sandwich? Let x represent the number of students who bought a cup of orange juice and y represent the number of students who bought a sandwich. Then the problem can be represented by this system of equations:
x + 3y = 76
x + y = 36
Answer the questions to solve the problem.
