Question

Barney and Robin went shopping at H&M. The store was having a sale on all shirts and pants. Barney spent $70 on 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants and Robin bought 1 shirt and 4 pairs of pants for S90 e) What does the solution to the system of equations you got to represent in the given scenario? Be specific.

Answer 1

The cost of one shirt is $10.

The cost of one pair of pants is $20.

Step-by-step explanation

Let the price of one shirt be s dollars.

Let the price of one pair of pants be p dollars.

Barney spent $70 on 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants

3s + 2p = 70

Robin bought 1 shirt and 4 pairs of pants for $90

s + 4p = 90

We can then write the two equations together and solve them simultaneously.

3s + 2p = 70

s + 4p = 90

Solving these simultaneous equation, we have

s = 10 dollars

p = 20 dollars

Hope this Helps!!!
