Mr. Santos, the curator of the children's museum, recently made two purchases of firing clay and poly clay for a visiting artist to sculpt. On Tuesday he bought 5 bogs of firing clay and 24 boxes of poly clay for $64.05. On Wednesday he bought 25 bags of firing clay and 8 boxes of poly clay for $51.45.

Create the systems of equations to represent this situation.

5x + 24y = 64.05

25x + 8y = 51.45
