Answer:

The value of p is $12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

c = px + 29y ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (1)

Where;

c = cost of buying x T-shirts and y sweatshirts from the store

p = price of one or each T-shirt = ?

x = number of T-shirts bought

29 = price of one or each sweatshirt

y = number of sweatshirt bought

Based on the above breakdown, if each sweatshirt cost $17 more than a T-shirt, the value of p can be calculated as follows:

29 = p + 17

p = 29 - 17

p = 12

Therefore, the value of p is $12.

Additional note:

Note that this is not part of the question but it is just an example to make you understand the question better.

If we assume that 10 T-shirts and 10 sweatshirts are bought from the store, we can use equation (1) above to calculate the cost as follows:

Where;

c = cost of buying x T-shirts and y sweatshirts from the store = ?

p = price of one or each T-shirt = 12

x = number of T-shirts bought = 10

29 = price of one or each sweatshirt

y = number of sweatshirt bought = 10

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

c = (12 * 10) + (29 * 10)

c = 120 + 290

c = 410

Therefore, the cost of of buying 10 T-shirts and 10 sweatshirts from the store will be $410.
