<span>The next letter is 'n'. The pattern misses a letter after a pair of letters, for example: 'a' and 'b' are a letter pair, then 'c' is skipped, then the letter pair 'd' and 'e' comes next. For every other letter pair, the order is reversed so they are not in alphabetical order. The next letter pair is 'm' and 'n', and because the pair 'j' and 'k' is in alphabetical order, this pair must be reversed. Therefore, the next letter is 'n'.</span>
Let us say that:
x = cost of shorts
y = cost of slacks
z = cost of sports coat
From the given statements, we can create the following
equations:
eqtn 1: 3 x + y =
10.96
eqtn 2: 7 x + 2 y +
z = 30.40
eqtn 3: 4 x + z =
14.45
Rewrite eqtn 1 explicit to y:
y = 10.96 – 3 x -->
eqtn 4
Rewrite eqtn 3 explicit to z:
z = 14.45 – 4x -->
eqtn 5
Plug in the values of y (eqtn 4) and z (eqtn 5) to eqtn
2:
7 x + 2 (10.96 – 3 x) + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40
7 x + 21.92 – 6 x + 14.45 – 4 x = 30.40
- 3 x + 36.37 = 30.40
- 3 x = - 5.97
x = 1.99
Eqtn 4:
y = 10.96 – 3 x
y = 10.96 – 3 (1.99)
y = 4.99
Eqtn 5:
z = 14.45 – 4x
z = 14.45 – 4 (1.99)
z = 6.49
Therefore each shirt cost $1.99, each slacks cost $4.99,
and each sports coat cost $6.49.
