During a sale at the local department store, you buy three sweatshirts and two pairs of sweatpants for $85.50. Later you return to the same store and buy three more sweatshirts and four more pairs of sweatpants for $123. What is the sale price of each sweatshirt and each pair of sweatpants?

On your second trip, you pay $37.50 for two more pairs of sweatpants...so...they must be $18.75 each

And (85.50 - 37.50) / 3  gives the price of each sweatshirt = $16
