Question

A school T-shirt costs $7.84. The cost of 4 school T-shirts and a school sweater is $1.40 less that the cost of 2 school sweaters. Create an equation that can be used to find the cost of the sweater?​

Answer 1

4a + b - $1.40 = 2b

Explanation:

Different style of problem here, so here's my guess

Let...

A = Tshirts

B = Sweaters

4a + b - $1.40 = 2b

4a + b indicates 4 shirts plus 1 sweater

The -$1.40 at the end indicates $1.40 less than

=2b indicates 2 sweaters
