During a sale at h&m, you buy three sweatshirts and two pairs of pants for $85.50. Later in the day, your friend buys three sweatshirts and four pairs of pants for $123. Define your variables and write a system of equations to represent the situation if you wanted to find out how much each item costs individually.
