Question

Find the cost of 2 shirts and 3pants if the cost of 2shirts and 1 pants is a $625 and cost of 3shirts and 2panat is a$1125?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of shirts be x.

pants be y.

2x+y =$625 equation 1.

3x+2y=$1125 equation 2.

equation 1×2

4x+2y=3050

3x+2y=1125

- - -

x = 1825 .

substitute x=1825 in equation 1.

2× 1825 +y= 625

3650 + y = 625

y = 625 - 3650

y = - 3025

cost of 2 shirts and 3 pants = 2x + 3y

= 2×1825 +3 ×-3025

= $628
