Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

let t be the cost of 1 t- shirt and s be the cost of 1 pair of shoes , then

4t + 3s = 325 → (1)

2t + 2s = 194 → (2)

(b) Solving by elimination

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate t

- 4t - 4s = - 388 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate t

0 - s = - 63

- s = - 63 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

s = 63

Substitute s = 63 into either of the 2 equations and solve for t

Substituting into (2)

2t + 2(63) = 194

2t + 126 = 194 ( subtract 126 from both sides )

2t = 68 ( divide both sides by 2 )

t = 34

Cost of pair of shoes = AED 63 and cost of t- shirt = AED 34
