A t-shirt and a hat costs £8.00.
How much does a t-shirt cost?
How much does a hat cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let,

cost of t-shirt be 'x'

cost of hat be 'y'

4 t-shirts and a hat costs £26.00

4x+y = 26 -----(1)

a t-shirt and a hat costs £8.00

x+y = 8 --------(2)

(1)-(2);

3x = 18

x = 6

put x=6 in (2) ;

y = (8-x) = (8-6) = 2

y = 2

cost of t-shirt = £6.00

cost of hat = £2.00

Hope this helps you...
