Hey there!!

Given :

The total cost for 2 pairs of pants and 5 shirts is $61.

The total cost for 3 pairs of paints and 4 shirts is $67.

<em>Let's take the cost for each pair of paints as 'p' and the cost for each shirt as 's'. </em>

Now, let's get these into an equation.

<em>Peter's equation</em> :

... 2p + 5s = 61

<em>Jessica's equation : </em>

...3p + 4s = 67

......................................................................................................

2p + 5s = 61 --- (1)

3p + 4s = 67 --- (2)

Multiply the first equation with 3 and the second equation with 2.

6p + 15s = 183

6p + 8s = 134

S<em>ubtract both the equations - </em>

... 7s = 49

Divide both sides with 7.

... s = 7

<u><em>Hence, the cost of each shirt is $7. </em></u>

Hope my answer helps!!

Ben spent 1/6 of his money on a burger, fries, and a drink. Then he spent half of the money he had left: $5 on a magazine, $8.25
Ket [755]

The amount of money Ben had to begin with after spending 1/6 and 1/2 of it is 57 dollars.

<h3>How to find the how much money he had with an equation?</h3>

let

x = amount he had to begin with

He  spent 1/6 of his money on a burger, fries, and a drink. Therefore,

amount spent on burger, fries, and a drink = 1  / 6 x

Hence,

amount he had left = x - 1 / 6 x =6x - x /6 = 5 / 6 x

Then he spent half of the money he had left.

1  / 2(5  /6 x) = 5 + 8.25 + 10.50

5 / 12 x = 23.75

cross multiply

5x = 23.75 × 12

5x = 285

divide both sides by 5

x = 285 / 5

x = 57

Therefore, the amount of money he have to begin with is $57.
