Question

Worth 28pts!!! I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST If you answer this problem correctly

On Friday, a men's clothing store sold 28 pairs of pants and 12 shirts for $1524. On Saturday, the store sold 51 pairs of pants and 35 shirts for $3065. What did each pair of pants sell for, in dollars?

Answer 1

your answer would be 61 because 3065 divided by 51 equals 60.0980392157 which is closest to 61, hope this helps!!

Answer 2

Short Answer P = 45$
Givens
Let the pants be represented by p
Let the shirts be represented by s

Equations.
28 P + 12 S = 1524                   (1)
51 P + 35 S = 3065                   (2)

Plan
We're going to get rid of the shirts, because we are not asked for them.
Multiply (1) by 35 and (2) by 12

Sub and Solve
35(28P + 12S = 1524)  
980 P + 420S = 53340      (1a)

12(51P + 35S = 3065)
612P + 420S = 36780       (2a)

Subtract 2a from 1a I'm going to leave the mechanics to you. But I will show the results.

368 P = 16560 Divide by 368
P = 16560 / 368
P = 45

Answer: Each pair of pants sold for 45 dollars.<<<<<
