Answer:

A.

2a +b+3c =10

3a+2b+4c=14

4a+2b+6c=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equation with the information given:

The price of each package will be equal to sum of the products of each vegetable (a,b or c) and their respective amount :

So:

2a +1b+3c =10

3a+2b+4c=14

4a+2b+6c=20

The system is:

2a +b+3c =10

3a+2b+4c=14

4a+2b+6c=20

(option A)
