The total cost of 2 jackets and 3 shirts is 225. The cost of a jacket is three times the cost of a shirt. Find the cost of a jacket and a shirt

Question

I need an answer please

Answer 1

Let J = cost of jacket

S = Cost of shirt

Then,

2J + 3S = 225

and J = 3S

Substituting, 6S + 3S = 225

9S = 225

S = 25

J = 3S = 75
