Question

Lily spent $190 on shirts. Fancy shirts cost $20 and plain shirts cost $10. If she bought a total of 12 then how many of each kind did she buy?

Answer 1

7 fancy shirts and 5 plain shirts

Explanation:

f and p are the numbers of fancy and plain shirts

f+p = 12

p = 12-f

20f + 10p = 190

20f + 10(12-f) = 190

20f + 120 - 10f = 190

10f = 70

f = 7

p = 12-f = 5
