Question

2. 4 masks and 1 pack of gloves costs $18. Three packs of gloves and 4 masks costs $22. What is the cost of one pack of gloves and one mask?

Answer 1

One mask=$4

One pack of glove=$2

Explanation:

Let mask=m

Let glove=g

4m+g=18 (1)

4m+3g=22 (2)

From (1)

g=18-4m

Substitute g=18-4m into equation (2)

4m+3g=22

4m+3(18-4m)=22

4m+54-12m=22

4m-12m=22-54

-8m=-32

Divide both sides by -8

m=4

Substitute m=4 into equation (1)

4m+g=18

4(4)+g=18

16+g=18

g=18-16

g=2

One mask=$4

One pack of glove=$2
