Answer:

Cost of 1 goggles = $20

Cost of 1 mask = 15

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of 2 goggles and 1 mask = $55

Cost of 1 goggles and 2 mask = $50

Find:

Cost of each goggles and mask

Computation:

Assume;

Cost of 1 goggles = a

Cost of 1 mask = b

So,

2a + b = 55.....EQ1

a + 2b = 50.......EQ2

EQ1 x 2

4a + 2b = 110 ......EQ3

EQ3 - EQ2

3a = 60

a = 20

Cost of 1 goggles = $20

a + 2a = 50

20 + 2b = 50

2b = 30

b = 15

Cost of 1 mask = 15
