We will solve this by suing simultaneous equations,
⇒ 5s + 3j = 87
4s + 2j = 64
Multiply the first equation with 4 and the second one with 5, this is to get one of the values equal so that we can cancel them out,
⇒ (5s + 3j = 87) × 4
(4s + 2j = 64) × 5
∴ ⇒ 20s + 12j = 348
20s + 10j = 320
Subtract both the equations. This is how your result (after subtraction) should look like,
⇒ 2j = 28
∴ ⇒ j = $14
Now replace the value of 'j' in one of the original equations,
⇒ 4s + 2(14) = 64
⇒ 4s + 28 = 64
⇒ 4s = 64 - 28
⇒ 4s = 36
∴ ⇒ s = $9
Therefore, one pair of jeans cost $14 and a shirt costs $9
Hope you understood! Feel free to ask me if you didn't understand a step.
You'll have to set this up as two separate problems. First, we want to take 15% off the original $20 bill. To do this, you're going to multiply 20 by .15, which gives you $3. So, 15% off $20 is $17.
Now, we want to find 7% of the new bill, so we're going to multiply 17 by .07 to get $1.19, and add it to the $17, making the final bill $18.19. You could also multiply $17 by 1.07 to get your final total without the extra step in the middle, but only do that once you're comfortable with the math.
