PLEASE HELP!!! I WILL MARK BRAINLEST!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Each hat is $5

Each mask is $3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hat= x dollars

Mask= y dollars

Now,

3 hats and 4 mask sold = $27

We can write

3x + 4y = 27

Adding the second equation (-1 times 1st equation) gives us;

3x + 6y = 33

-1* (3x + 4y = 27)

3x + 6y = 33

-3x -4y = 27

2y = 6

y = 6/2

***y = 3***

Now we replace y= 3 into 1st equation and solve for x:

3x + 4y = 27

3x + 4(3) = 27

3x + 12 = 27

3x + 15

x = 15/3

***x= 5***

Each hat costs $5

Each mask costs $3
