Given : John bought 2 pairs of short and 1 pair shirt for P2,000.00 on monday. The next day he decided to buy his brothers 4 pairs of shorts and 3 shirts worth P4,600.00.

To Find : How much is each pair of shirt and short?

Solution:

Cost of  pair of short   =  A    P

Cost of pair of shirt    =  B     P

2 pairs of short and 1 pair shirt for P2,000.00

=> 2A  +  B  = 2000    Eq1

4 pairs of shorts and 3 shirts worth P4,600.00.

=> 4A  + 3B =  4600   Eq2

Eq2  - 2 * Eq1

=> 4A + 3B  - 4A - 2B  = 4600  - 4000

=> B = 600

2A  + 600 = 2000

=> 2A = 1400

=> A = 700

Cost of  pair of short   =  700  P  

Cost of pair of shirt    =   600  P
