Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Cost of the shirt = $ 175

● Explanation -

Let x be cost of the shirt. Then cost of the trouser is x × (100+12)/100 = 1.12x.

Given that sum of cost of shirt and trouser is $ 371.

x + 1.12x = 371

2.12x = 371

x = 371 / 2.12

x = $ 175

Hence, cost of the shirt is $ 175.

Thanks dear. Best luck for your future..
