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.

The T-shirts cost $10 and the jeans cost $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

I guess you want to find the cost of the T-shirts and jeans at his first buy,

Let the cost be  $t and $j for T-shirts and jeans respectively.

Then we have the system:

2t + j = 40(1)

and a month later:

0.5*2t  + 0.5*5j = 60

t + 2.5j = 60(2)

Multiply by - 2:

-2t - 5j = -120(3)

Adding equations (1) and (3):

-4j = -80

j = -80 /  -4

j =  $20.

Substituting j = 20 into equation (2):

t + 2.5(20) = 60

t = 60 - 50

t = $10.

t = $55
