1. For Sherry's jars:
   - Let $$ s $$ be the number of jars of salsa and $$ p $$ be the number of jars of pickles.
   - The statement "Sherry canned 13 more jars of salsa than jars of pickles" can be written as:
     $$
     s = p + 13
     $$

2. For the bus passengers:
   - Let $$ c $$ be the number of children and $$ a $$ be the number of adults.
   - The statement "The number of children on a bus is 2.5 times the number of adults" can be written as:
     $$
     c = 2.5a
     $$

3. For the temperatures:
   - Let $$ B $$ represent the average high temperature in Berlin and $$ C $$ represent the average high temperature in Cape Town.
   - The statement "On December 1, the average high temperature in Berlin, Germany, was 37 degrees colder than the average high temperature in Cape Town, South Africa" can be written as:
     $$
     B = C - 37
     $$

4. For Aniyah’s reading goal:
   - Total pages in the Old Testament: 1,184 pages.
   - Total time: 36 weeks. Since there are 7 days in a week, the total number of days is:
     $$
     36 \times 7 = 252 \text{ days}
     $$
   - The number of pages to read per day is:
     $$
     \frac{1184}{252} \approx 4.698 \text{ pages/day}
     $$
   - Rounding to the nearest whole number gives:
     $$
     5 \text{ pages per day}
     $$
1. Sherry's jars: $$ s = p + 13 $$ 2. Bus passengers: $$ c = 2.5a $$ 3. Temperatures: $$ B = C - 37 $$ 4. Aniyah’s reading: $$ \text{Pages per day} \approx 5 $$
