Question

Jiyoung spent $82 at Uniqlo on shirts and shorts. She lost the receipt but knows that the shirts are

$11 each, and the shorts were $9 each. If Jiyoung bought 5 shirts, how many shorts did she buy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given this information, we can set up an equation

`11x + 9y = 82`, where x is the amount of shirts bought, and y is the amount of shorts bought. Since we know she bough 5 shirts, we can replace x with 5

`11 (5) + 9y = 82` Now, we have to find for y.

Step 1. Simplify

`55+9y=82`

Step 2. Subtract 55 from both sides

`55-55+9y=82-55\\9y=27`

Step 3. Divide both sides by 9

`(9y)/(9)=(27)/(9)\\y=3`

If y = 3, this means that Jiyoung bought 3 shorts.

Answer 2

its 3 shorts

Explanation:

11×5= 55 82-55= 27 27÷9= 3
