Answer 1

Answer:

7 t shirts and 21 purses

Answer 2

Answer:

T shirt was 7pcs and Purses was 21pcs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

Number of T Shirt is T and purses is P.

then T + P =28;

therefore P = 28 -T;

Given,

Cost per T shirt is $8 and per Purses is $5;

then T*8 + P*5 = 161;

T*8 + (28-T)*5 = 161;

T*8 -T*5 + 140 = 161;

T*3 = 161 - 140;

T*3 = 21;

T = 7;

Then P = 28-7;

P= 21;
