Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given data
let the shirts be x
and the pants be y
Required
the number of shirts and pants
the systems of the equation for the situation is
2x+6y=11-------------1
5x+8y=18.75-------2
2x+6y=11-------------1X 5
5x+8y=18.75-------2 X2
10x+30y=55-------------1
-10x+16y=37.5-------2
0x+14y=-17.5
divide both sides by 14
y=17.5/14
y=1.25
pants= $1.25
put y=2.32 in eqn 1 2x+6y=11
2x+6(1.25)=11
2x+7.5=11
2x=11-7.5
2x=3.5
x=3.5/2
x=$1.75
Shirts = $1.75
