Question

BONUS QUESTION: A clothing store sells T-shirts, pants, and socks. The prices of the items do not change regardless of the quantities purchased. Purchasing a T-shirt, one pair of pants, and a pair of socks costs $25.70. For $32.50, you can buy 2 T-shirts and a pair of pants. A pair of pants and two pairs of socks can be purchased for $18.90. How much does each item cost? (solve using an algebraic expression) - show your full solution below.

Answer 1

$6.80 = T-shirt

$18.90 = pants

$6.80 = pair of socks

Explanation:

p + s = 25.70

2t + p = 32.50

p + 2s = 18.90

18.90 - 2s = 25.70 -s

-18.90 + s -18.90 +s

s = $6.80

p = 25.70-6.8= 18.90

2t + 18.90 = 32.50

2t = 32.50 - 18.90 = 13.6

t = 13.6/2 = 6.80
