The cost of the skirt is 200 and the cost of the blouse is 250.
What is an expression?
Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.
Given that the cost of 5 skirts and 3 blouses is sh 1750. Mueni bought three of the skirts and one of the blouses for sh 850.
To calculate the cost of each blouse and each skirt form the two equations and solve them by elimination method.
5s + 3B = 1750
3s + B = 850
Multiply the second equation by 3 and subtract from the first equation.
9s + 3B = 2550
5s + 3B = 1750
_______________
4s = 800
s = 200
Put the value of s in any equation.
3 x 200 + B = 850
B = 850 - 600
B = 150
Therefore, the cost of the skirt is 200 and the cost of the blouse is 250.
