Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of 1 t shirt=$20, 1 hat=$12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider tea shirt as 'x' and hat as 'y'

i.e

8x + 5y = 220........ I

5x +1y = 112.......... II

Consider equation II,

5x +1y=112

5x=112-1y

x=(112-1y) /5.............. III

SUBSTITUTE III in I

By solving,we get x=20&y=12
