Divide 224 by 8 and you will get 28.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the two costs is $52, so we can write ...
x + y = 52
The shoes cost $4 more than the jacket, so we can write ...
x - y = 4
These are your system of equations.
__
Subtract the second equation from the first:
(x +y) -(x -y) = (52) -(4)
2y = 48 . . . . . simplify
y = 24 . . . . . . .divide by 2
The cost of the jacket is $24.
You already know what it is cuh
