28f + 15p = 131
f + p = 7
multiply by 15
15f +15p =15(7)= 105
subtract last from 1st equation
28f -15f = 131-105
13f = 26
f = 26/13 = 2 fancy shirts
p = 7-2 = 5 plain shirts
28(2)+15(5)
=56+75=131

asked 02/21/23Kristen spent $131 on shirts. Fancy shirts cost $28 and plain shirts cost $15. If she bought a total of 7 shirts, then how many of each kind did she buy?
I believe the answer is 5 plain shirts and 2 fancy shirts and the first equation is 28f+15p=131 but i dont know the second.
