Question

8. Pablo bought one pair of jeans and one polo shirt for $60.

Greg spent $208 on 4 pairs of jeans and 3 polo shirts,
Assuming the jeans and polo shirts are all the same type, how
much is a pair of jeans and polo shirt each?
​

Answer 1

F. $28 for jeans; $32 for shirt

Explanation:

Answer 2

F. $28 for jeans; $32 for shirt

Explanation:

The two hand written equations are correct.

Multiply both sides of the first equation by -3.

-3j - 3s = -180

The second equation is

4j + 3s = 208

Add these two equations.

j = 28

The only choice that has $28 for a pair of jeans is choice F, so that is the correct answer.
