My friend sandy bought 3 pair of jeans and 7 shirts for $60. my friend dan bought 2 pair of jeans and 3 shirts for $30. what are the prices for jeans and shirts?

Respuesta :

The prices for jeans and shirts are $6 and $6

Calculations and Parameters

Given that:

3 pairs of jeans and 7 shirts for $60.

And 2 pairs of jeans and 3 shirts for $30.

Let jeans be x

Let shirts be y

3x + 7y = 60.... eq 1

2x + 3y = 30...... eq 2

Let us make x the subject formula from equation 2

2x = 30-3y

x= (30-3y)/2..... eq 3

Put the value of x into equation 1

3 * (30-3y)/2 + 7y = 60

(90- 9y)/2 + 7y = 60

45 - 4.5y + 7y = 60

2.5y =15

y = 6

Then, put the value of y into eq 3

x= (30-3(6))/2

x= 15 - 9

x= 6

Hence, we can see that the values of x and y are 6 apiece.
