Amanda bought 2 shirts and 5 pairs of pants for $154.00. Rebecca bought the same 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $168.00. What is the price for a pair of pants?
pls i really need help with this
Let the price of 1 shirt ==S
Let the price of 1 pair of pants ==P
2S + 5P ==154.00..................(1)
3S + 4P ==168.00..................(2), solve for S, P
Use elimination or substitution to get:
S ==$32.00 - price of 1 shirt
P ==$18.00 - price of 1 pair of pants.
