Question

Mr. Rose spent $63 for a sport jacket and a pair of slacks. If the jacket cost $33 more than the slacks, how much did he pay for each?
Which system of equations represents the word problem if j is the jacket price and s is the price of the slacks?

j + s = 63 and s - j = 33
j + s = 63 and j - s = 33
js = 63 andj/s = 33

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B is correct

$j+s = 63$

$j-s = 33$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, j represents the jacket price and s represents the slacks price.

As per the statement:

Mr. Rose spent $63 for a sport jacket and a pair of slacks.

⇒$j+s = 63$

It is also given that:

If the jacket cost $33 more than the slacks

⇒ $j = 33 +s$

or

$j-s = 33$      

Then the system of equations is:

$j+s = 63$

$j-s = 33$

which represents the given word problem

Answer 2

J + s = 63 and j - s = 33 because if the jacket cost 33 more than the slacks then you start with the jacket and subtract the slacks which are 33 less than the jacket you have 33.
