8 shirts and pairs of pants cost $695 altogether. 3 shirts and 3 pairs of pants cost $300 altogether. How much more does each shirt cost than each pair of pants?

Answer 1

8S + 8P = $695

3S + 3P = $300

add to get

11S + 11P = $1295

11(S+P) = $1295

Thus S+P = $117.73

Is you assume each shirt S is more expensive that each pair of pants P, then

S = $117.73 - P
