Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of shirt material purchased be 3x metres and trouser material purchased be 2x metres.
Cost of 1 metre trouser material = 90
Cost of 1 metre shirt material = 50
(50*112/100)3x +(90*100/100) 2x = 36,600
(560/10)3x +99/10*2x = 36,600
168x +198x = 36,600
366x = 36,600
x = 36,600/366
x = 100 metres
Shirt material = 3x*100=300metres
Trouser material = 2x*100=200metres
