Alright, lets get strated.

I assume that we are asked to find cost of T- shirt because cost of jeans is already given in question.

Okay so lets assume cost of one T-shirt is x.

Alex buys two T-shirts so, cost of two T-shirts will be
= 2x

Alex buts one pair of jeans also which costs $ 16. 49.

So, his total spent
= 16.49 + 2x

As per given in question, total spent = $ 27.47

So, we could make both equal.


16.49 + 2x = 27.47

Subtracting 16.49 in both sides


16.49 + 2x - 16.49 = 27.47 - 16.49


2x = 10.98

Dividing 2 in both sides

x = 5.49

Hence the cost of T-shirt is $ 5.49 : Answer

Hope it will help :)
