During the 2010 season, football player McGee’s earnings, m, were
0.005 million dollars more than those of his teammate Fitzpatrick’s
earnings, f. The two players earned a total of 3.95 million dollars.
Which system of equations could be used to determine the amount
each player earned, in millions of dollars?
(1) m + f = 3.95 (3) f - 3.95 = m
m + 0.005 = f m + 0.005 = f
(2) m - 3.95 = f (4) m + f = 3.95
f + 0.005 = m f + 0.005 = m
