Answer 1

Answer:

• shirt: ₹494.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the cost of two shirts and one trouser is ₹3491.96, and the cost of one shirt is ₹2006.99 less than the cost of one trouser, you want to know the cost of one shirt.

Equations

We can write two equations describing the given relationships:

  2s + t = 3491.96

  -s + t = 2006.99

Solution

Subtracting the second equation from the first, we have ...

  (2s +t) -(-s +t) = (3491.96) -(2006.99)

  3s = 1484.97

  s = 494.99

The cost of one shirt is ₹494.99.
