Answer:
shirt = $20
sweater = $35
Step-by-step explanation:
This question would be solved using simultaneous equation
Let the price of sweater be represented by a
Let the price of shirt be represented by b
The following equations can be derived from the question
2a + 4b = 150 equation 1
4a + 3b = 200 equation 2
Multiply equation 1 by 2
4a + 8b = 300 equation 3
Subtract equation 2 from 3
5b = 100
divide both sides of the equation by 5
b = 20
substitute for b in equation 1
2a + 4(20) = 150
2a + 80 = 150
collect like terms
2a = 150 - 80
2a = 70
divide both sides by 2
a = 35
Price of sweater = $35
Price of shirt = $20
