Answer 1

Answer:

the cost of one sweater is $40

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the cost of the one sweater is shown below;

Let us assume the sweater be x

And, the pant be y

Now the equations are

2x + y = $120 ..............(1)

x + 2y = $120................(2)

Now multiply by 2 in equation 1

4x + 2y = $240

x + 2y = $120

3x = $120

x = $40

Hence, the cost of one sweater is $40
