The price of jacket was $24.54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Cost of jacket = x

Cost of pair of shoes = y

According to given statement;

x+y=52.95   Eqn 1

x = y-3.87    Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

(y-3.87)+y=52.95\\y-3.87+y=52.95\\2y=52.95+3.87\\2y=56.82\\

Dividing both sides by 2

\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{56.82}{2}\\y=28.41

Putting y=28.41 in Eqn 2,

x=28.41-3.87\\x=24.54

The price of jacket was $24.54
