Question

Dakota and Christine went shopping. Dakota bought two scarves and one hat for $13 Christine bought one scarves and two hats for $14 what is the price of one hat and one scarf

Answer 1

One scarf=s
One hat=h

2s+h=13
s+2h=14

h=13-2s
(plug that into the other equation)

s+2(13-2s)=14
s+26-4s=14
26-3s=14
-3s=-12
s=4

One hat=$5
One scarf=$4
5+4=9
Price of one hat AND one scarf is $9
