Price of the hats at the souvenir shop = $ 8

Price of the t-shirts at the souvenir shop = $ 20

Step 2: Let's write an expression that describes the cost of Hats and t-T-shirts:

Let x to represent the amount of hats we sell at the souvernir shop, and,

Let y to represent the amount of hats we sell at the souvernir shop, therefore:

Let c to represent the fixed costs for the souvenir shop,

Let p to represent the profit for every hat we sell at the souvenir shop

Let q to represent the profit for every t-shirt we sell at the souvenir shop

Cost of Hat = 8 - p
