Answer 1

I hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a shirt be = a = $15

Let the cost of a jeans be = b = $25

a) The cost of jeans and shirt=

a+b=$25 +$15

a +b=$40

b)3b+ 5a

= 3($25)+5($15)

=$75 +$75

=$150

c) Since a pair of jeans=$25

$60 = (60/25) pair of jeans

=2.4

This means it can buy 2 pairs of jeans
