In a discount clothing​ store, all sweaters are sold at one fixed price and all shirts are sold at another fixed price. If one sweater and four shirts cost ​$45​, while four sweaters and five shirts cost ​$92​, find the price of one sweater and the price of one shirt.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Say SH is the shirt cost and SW is the sweater cost: 
SW + 3SH = 42 
3SW+2SH = 56 

Solve the first for SW: 
SW = 42-3SH 

Plug that into the second: 
3(42-3SH) +2SH = 56 

Simplify: 
126 - 9SH +2SH = 56 
70 = 7SH 
SH = 10 

Plug this back into the SW formula: 
SW = 42 - 3SH = 42 - 3*10 = 12 

Shirts cost $10, sweaters cost $12.

Jared recently purchased a new pair of running shoes. He got a 20% discount, which saved him $9.00

Answers

If you are looking for the total price of the shoes its really quite simple, if 20% is $9 then you can just multiply that by 5 and get $45 so the total cost of the shoes would be $45        But- if you are looking to see what he actually paid then it would be $36
