8shirts and 5 pairs of pants cost $695 altogether. 3 shirts and 3 pairs of pants cost $300 altogether. how much more does each shirt cost than each pair of pants

For this, we will be doing a system of equations. First will represent the total cost of $695 and the other will represent the total cost of $300.

Let s = cost of shirts and p = cost of pants:

For this, I'll be using the substitution method. So firstly, subtract 3p on both sides of the second equation:

Next, divide both sides of the second equation by 3:

Now replace s in the first equation with (100-p). From here we can solve for p:

Firstly, foil 8(100-p):

Next, combine like terms:

Next, subtract 800 on both sides of the equation:

Next, divide both sides by -3, and your answer should be:

Now that we know what the cost of pants is, we can replace p in either equation with 35 to solve for s. For this, I'll be using the second equation.

To find the difference in price, just subtract the prices: 65 - 35 = 30.

In short, shirts are $30 more expensive than pants.

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
