Answer:
hat: $12
t-shirt: $8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price of 1 hat = h.
Let the price of 1 t-shirt = t.
Julie: h + 2t = 28
Raj: 2h + t = 32
We have a system of 2 equations in 2 variables.
h + 2t = 28
2h + t = 32
Let's use the substitution method to solve the system of equations.
Solve the first equation for h.
h = 28 - 2t
Substitute 28 - 2t for h in the second equation.
2(28 - 2t) + t = 32
56 - 4t + t = 32
56 - 3t = 32
-3t = -24
t = 8
h = 28 - 2t
h = 28 - 2(6)
h = 12
Answer:
hat: $12
t-shirt: $8
