Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

Cloud Nine is having a sale on all shirts and pants in the store. Olivia purchased 8 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $176. Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for $116. Let x represent the price of a shirt and y represent the price of a pair of pants. Write a system of equations, and use the elimination method to find a reasonable price for a pair of pants.

Answer:

The system of equations are \left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.

The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of shirt be 'x'.

Let price of pair of pants be 'y'.

Given:

Olivia purchased 8 shirts 4 pairs of pants for $176

So we can say that;

8 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of  pants is equal to 176.

framing in equation form we get;

8x+4y=176 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

Raheem purchased 3 shirts and 4 pairs of pants for 116.

So we can say that;

3 multiplied by the price of shirt plus 4 multiplied by the price of pair of pants is equal to 116.

framing in equation form we get;

3x+4y=116 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Hence the system of equation are \left \{ {{8x+4y=176} \atop {3x+4y=116}} \right.

Now by using elimination method we will subtract equation 2 from equation 1 we get;

(8x+4y)-(3x+4y)=176-116\\\\8x+4y-3x-4y = 60\\\\5x =60\\\\x=\frac{60}{5}=\$12

Now Substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

8x+4y=176\\\\8\times 12+4y =176\\\\96+4y=176\\\\4y =176-96\\\\4y = 80\\\\y= \frac{80}{4} =\$ 20

Hence The reasonable price for pair of pants is $20.

Fynjy0 [20]
The correct answer is C) 900

To begin with, you need to divide the number of days in a year with the number of dogs. When you do this, you multiply it by 50 to get the final answer. In this case, it would be 365 / 20 which when multiplied by 50 gives the number of C) 900 since it's "about" 20 days.
