The price of 1 hat is $ 5 and price of 1 t-shirt is $ 8
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "s" be the price of 1 shirt
Let "h" be the price of 1 hat
<em><u>Given that Jones buys 7 t-shirts and 6 hats for $86</u></em>
Therefore, we can frame a equation as:
price of 1 shirt x 7 + price of 1 hat x 6 = 86
7s + 6h = 86 ------ eqn 1
<em><u>Also given that The price of each t shirt is $3 more than the price of each hat</u></em>
price of 1 shirt = 3 + price of 1 hat
s = 3 + h -------- eqn 2
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
7( 3 + h ) + 6h = 86
21 + 7h + 6h = 86
21 + 13h = 86
13h = 86 - 21
13h = 65
<h3>h = 5</h3>From eqn 2,
s = 3 + h = 3 + 5 = 8
<h3>s = 8</h3>Thus price of 1 hat is $ 5 and price of 1 t-shirt is $ 8
