A school band ordered hats for $3 and large T-shirts for $5. They bought 150 items in all for $590. Graph a system of equations to find how many hats and T-shirts the band ordered.
**PLEASE HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS
The number of hats ordered is; 80 and the number of shirts ordered is; 70.
A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.
Given that the Cost of hats = $3
The Cost of shirts = $5
The total cost of all the items = $590.
Total number of items bought = 150 items.
Let us assume that the number of hats ordered be x.
The number of shirts ordered be y
The equation can formed as;
x+y = 150 -------(1)
3x+5y = 590 ---------(2)
Multiply and subtract eq(2) from eq(1),
3x+3y = 450
-(3x+5y = 590)
-2y = - 140
y = 140/2
y = 70.
Thus, the number of shirts ordered is; 70.
Now Substitute y=70 in eq(1),
x+70 = 150
x = 150-70
x = 80.
Thus, the number of hats ordered is; 80.

Answer what you can correctly for a brainliest and also get a thanks ! Don't answer if you don't know it .
A. .2 B. 5⁄4 C. 5:4 D. 4:5
Ratio 4/5 can be written as 4:5.
The correct option is D.
The ratio is defined as the comparison of two quantities of the same units that indicates how much of one quantity is present in the other quantity.
Given,
Ratio = 4/5
: is another symbol of ratio
Thus, 4/5 can be written as 4:5.
Hence, 4:5 is equivalent to ratio 4/5.
