Answer 1

Answer:

2 pair shorts and for t-shirts and sandals possible cases are  

1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total money spent by Heidi on the clothing items is $60.

Now , she bought 2 pairs of short for $10 each , so, the money spent on shorts will be $20.

Thus money for other stuffs should be $40.

Let she bought x t-shirts for $4 each , thus money spent on t-shirts will be 4x dollars.

Also let she bought y sandals for $12 each , so money spent on sandals will be 12y dollars .

Thus , 4x + 12y = 40.  (since 40 dollars were remaining for other clothing

                                     items)

So, x + 3y = 10.

So, the possible cases are 1 t-shirt and 3 sandals or

4 t-shirts and 2 sandals or

7 t-shirts and 1 sandals.
