Question

AT A STORE 3 SHIRTS AND 3 PANTS COST $93.75, AND 2 SHIRTS AND 4 PANTS COST $134.50 WHAT IS THE PRICE OF 1 SHIRT AND 1 PANT

Answer 1

I will set up the equations.

Let s = shirts

Let p = pants

3s + 3p = 93.75

2s + 4p = 134.50

Use the substitution method to find p and s.

Take it from here.

Answer 2

one shirt = $4.75 , one pant = $36

Explanation:

Create two equations.

3p + 3s = 93.75

4p + 2s = 134.50

Use elimination by making s values the opposite of each other.

(3p + 3s = 93.75) -2

(4p + 2s = 134.50) 3

-6p -6s = -187.5

12p + 6s = 403.5

6p = 216

p = 36

Plug the cost of one pant into an equation

3(36) + 3s = 93.75

108 + 3s =93.75

14.25 = 3s

s = 4.75
