This is the answer
Answer:
4:1 (I think)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write some equations first:
For both prices increasing by 20:
then we can use cross multiplication
2x+40=5y+100
For both prices decreasing by 5:
same here:
5y-25=x-5
Using substitution for 5y, we get: 5y=x+20
2x+40=5y+100
2x+40=x+20+100
x=80
plugging this in to the second equation:
5y-25=x-5
5y-25=80-5
5y-25=75
5y=100
y=20
therefore we get x:y=80:20
4:1
He sold 76 shirts and 24 pants.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Cost of one t-shirt = $20
Cost of one pants = $45
Total items sold = 100
Total sales = 2600
Let,
x be the number of t-shirts
y be the number of pants
According to given statement;
x+y=100 Eqn 1
20x+45y=2600 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 20
Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 25
Putting in Eqn 1
He sold 76 shirts and 24 pants.
