The total price of a shirt and a cap is $11. If the price of the shirt was doubled and the price of the cap was three times its original price, the total price of a shirt and a cap would be $25. The following system of equations models this scenario:

x + y = 11

2x + 3y = 25


What is the price of each shirt and cap?



Price of a shirt is $9, and price of a cap is $2.



Price of a shirt is $10, and price of a cap is $1.



Price of a shirt is $8, and price of a cap is $3.



Price of a shirt is $7, and price of a cap is $4.

the shirt is 8 dollars and the cap is 3
