At a store, Eva bought two shirts and five hats for $154.00. Nicole bought three same shirts and four same hats for $168.00. what is the price of each shirt

Answer 1

2S + 5H = 154

3S+ 4H = 168

multiply 1st equation by 3 and 2nd by 2 to get

6S + 15H = 462

6S + 8H = 336 subtract

7H = 126

H = 18 hats

S = (154-5(18))/2 = 32 shirts
