please someone explain

Answer 1

Cost of each jersey = $13.6

Explanation:

Given:

Cost of each team cup = $16

Total amount spend = $296

Total number of team cup = 10

Total number of jersey = 10

Find:

Cost of each jersey

Computation:

Assume;

Cost of each jersey = c

So,

16(10) + (c)(10) = 296

160 + 10c = 296

10c = 296 - 160

10c = 136

c = 136 / 10

Cost of each jersey = $13.6
