ever, the price of yellow shirts is different from the price of purple shirts.
On Monday, the store collected $165 selling 5 purple shirts and 7 yellow shirts.

On Tuesday, the store collected $213 selling 4 purple shirts and 11 yellow shirts.

Answer:

Each purple shirt costs $12

Each yellow shirt costs $15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

x: purple shirt price (in dollars per shirt)

y: yellow shirt price (in dollars per shirt)

On Monday, the store collected $165 selling 5 purple shirts and 7 yellow shirts.  That is:

5*x + 7*y = 165   (eq. 1)

On Tuesday, the store collected $213 selling 4 purple shirts and 11 yellow shirts. That is:

4*x+11*y = 213    (eq. 2)

We can isolate y in equation 1, as follows:

7*y = 165 - 5*x

y = 165/7 - 5/7*x

and replace it in equation 2:

4*x+11*(165/7 - 5/7*x) = 213

4*x+ 1815/7 - 55/7*x = 213

-27/7*x = 213 - 1815/7

-27/7*x = -324/7

x = -324/-27 = 12

Then:

y = 165/7 - 5/7*12 = 15

If we graph the system of equations made by equations 1 and 2, we get the figure attached. The intersection of the two lines is the solution of the system.

Answer:

The Cost of  yellow shirts is $15 and the cost of purple shirt is $ 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of one yellow shirt be x

and the cost of one purple shirt be y

On Monday

5x + 7y = 165--------------------(1)

On Tuesday

4x + 11y = 213----------------------(2)

To solve (1) and (2)

multiplying eq(1) with 4

20x + 28y = 660--------------------(3)

multiplying eq(2) with 5

20x + 55y = 1056-------------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4)

20x + 55y = 1056

20x + 28y = 660

(-)

-----------------------------------

0x  +27y = 405

-----------------------------------

y = \frac{405}{27}

y = 15

Substituting y value in eq(1)

5x + 7(15) = 165

5x + 105 =405

5x =405 -105

5x =300

x = \frac{300}{5}

x =60
