Question

James bought two T-shirts and one pair of jeans at an online store and paid $40, not including taxes, for his purchase. A month later, the same store sold the T-shirts and jeans at a 50% discount from their original prices. James bought two T-shirts and five pairs of jeans for $60, not including taxes.
Assuming the base prices of the T-shirts and the jeans are the same on both occasions, and ignoring the taxes, the price of a T-shirt is $
and the price of a pair of jeans is $

Answer 1

hey let the original price of t shirt be x .

and that of jeans be y.

so in case first we have :

2x + y = 40........(1)

and after 50% discount the price of products becomes :

x/2 and y/2

so we have

$\frac{2x}{2} + \frac{5y}{2} = 60$

2x + 5y = 120.....(2)

equation 2 minus equation 1.

y = 20.

x = 10.

the price of t shirt is $10 and that of jeans is $20.
