Question

Kate bought a skirt and two blouses. The skirt was thirty-six dollars. Kate's (1)bill came to ninety-eight dollars. What was the price of each of the blouses?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

Lets use the letter b to represent the price of each blouse, we have:

`36+2b=98`

And solving for b:

`\begin{gathered} 2b=98-36 \\ 2b=62 \\ b=(62)/(2) \\ b=31 \end{gathered}`

The price of each blouse is $31.
