Question

Kristen spent $165 on shirts. Fancy shirts cost $15 and plain shirts cost $10. If she bought a

total of 16 shirts, how many of each kind did she buy?

Answer 1

1 fancy 15 plain

Explanation:

F + P = 16

15F +10P = 165

Miltiplu the 1st by -10:

-10F -10P = -160

15F + 10P = 165

Add both (10p is cancelled)

5F = 5

F =1

16-1 = 15 (15plain)

15 x10 =150

1x15 =15

150 +15 = 165
