Answer 1

Answer:

0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

let divide 2000 between 8 (i.e 2 pair of trousers (4) and 2 pair of shirts(4) )

2000÷8 =250

but since trousers is 200 more cost than shirt, that means shirt is 200 less than trousers

therefore, 200 subtracted from the 4 shirt each and added to the 4 trousers

i.e each trousers= 450

each shirt = 50

50 ×3 = 150

150/450 = 0.33333
