Question

The cost price of 2 shirts and 3 jeans is Rs. 2200 and the cost price of 2 jeans and 4 shirts is Rs. 2400. Find the ratio between the cost price of the jeans and the shirt

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 500 is the cost price of jeans.

Rs. 350 is the cost price of shirt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The cost of shirt is Rs. 350 and the cost of jeans is Rs.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost price of shirt = x

Let the cost price of jeans =y

Now according to question

The cost price of 2 shirts and 3 jeans is Rs. 2200

Therefore we have

$2x+3y=2200-------(i)$

similarly

The cost price of 2 jeans and 4 shirts is Rs. 2400

Therefore we have

$2y+4x=2400\\\\\Rightarrow y+2x=1200 \\\\\Rightarrow 2x= 1200-y$

Substitute the value of 2x in (i)

$1200-y+3y=2200\\\\\Rightarrow 2y= 2400-1200= 1000\\\\\Rightarrow y= 500$

Now substitute the value of y in (i) we get

$2x+3y=2200\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+3\times 500= 2200\\\\\Rightarrow 2x+1500=2200\\\\\Rightarrow 2x= 2200-1500 \\\\\Rightarrow 2x= 750 \\\\\Rightarrow x= 350$

Hence, the cost of shirt is Rs. 350 and the cost of jeans is Rs. 500
