Answer:

Jacket A costs 43$

Jacket B costs 55$

Explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given, Two jackets have a combined cost of $98. Jacket 'A' costs $12 less than jacket 'B'. Thus, if the jacket B Cost 'X' So, Jacket A costs 'X-12'.

Therefore, Jacket A + Jacket B = 98

X-12+X = 98

2X = 110

X = $55 ( Cost of jacket B) & Cost of Jacket A is 55-12 = 43$ .
