At the same store, peter bought 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts for $61, and jessica bought 3 pairs of pants and 4 shirts for $67. how much does 1 shirt cost?

Hey there!!

Given :

The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.

The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.

Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'.

Now, let's get these into an equation.

Peter's equation :

... 2p + 5s = 61

Jessica's equation :

...3p + 4s = 67

2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)

3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)

Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.

6p + 15s = 183

6p + 8s = 134

Subtract both the equations -

... 7s = 49

Divide both sides with 7.

... s = 7

Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7.

Hope my answer helps!!

50*10 is greater

step-by-step explanation:

if you add the zero from 10 to 50, it will give you a bigger number.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
