Question

Aisha owns an apparel store. She bought some shirts and jeans from a wholesaler for $3,900. Each shirt cost $12 and each pair of jeans cost $28. If she sold the shirts at 70% profit and jeans at 125% profit, her total profit was $3,885. How many shirts and jeans did she buy from the wholesalers? 101 shirts and 96 jeans

Answer 1

For this case we can define the following variables:
 x: shirt
 y: jeans
 We write the following system of equations:
 12x + 28y = 3900
 8.4x + 35y = 3885
 We solve the system of equations:
 x = 150
 y = 75
 Note: see attached image for the solution of the system:
 Answer:
