Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Styline menswear ordered short-sleeve shirts for $23 each and long-sleeve shirts for $28.50
short-sleeve shirts for $23
long-sleeve shirts for $28.50
Total cost = $9,862.50
Let x be the number of short - sleeve
and y be the number of long - sleeve
Total shirts = 375
x + y = 375
23x + 28.50y = 9862.50
Now we solve for x
x + y = 375 ( subtract x on both sides)
So y = 375 - x
Now plug in 375 -x for y in second equation
23x + 28.50y = 9862.50
23x + 28.50(375 - x ) = 9862.50
23x + 10687.5 - 28.50x = 9862.50
subtract 10687.5 from both sides
23x - 28.50x = -825
-5.5x = -825 (divide -5.5 on both sides)
x = 150
So number of short-sleeve = 150
You can find how many he gets for each dog.
For example, let's pretend Juan gets $3 for each dog to walk, then he would've walked 4 dogs. But in this real problem we don't know how much he gets for each dog.
So, you can find the amount of money Juan saved by knowing how much is for each dog walked.
