Question

Mr sasi paid $152 for a pair of shoes and a belt. The pair of shoes cost 7 times as much as belt.he also bought a shirt which cost $45 more than the belt.how much did shirt cost?

Answer 1

Hey there!!

Let us take the cost of the belt as ' x '

Then, the cost of the shoes would be ' 7x '

Cost of the shirt would be ' x + 45 '

Cost of belt + cost of shoes = 152

x + 7x = 152

8x = 152

x = 152 / 8

x = 19

Cost of belt = $19

cost of shirt = 19 + 45

= $64

Hope helps!
