The total cost of a jacket and a pair of pants was $66.12. If the price of the jacket was $3.26 less than the pair of pants, what was the price of the jacket? Express your answer as a simplified fraction or a decimal rounded to two places.

The price of the jacket was $31.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a jacket = x

Let the cost of a pair of pants = y

Such that,

x + y = $66.12Equation 1.

From the conditional statement,

x = y - $3.26Equation 2.

Solve both equations simultaneously, using the substitution method

From Equation 2;

x = y - 3.26

Substitute y - 3.26 for x in Equation 1.

x + y = 66.12, now becomes,

y - 3.26 + y = 66.12

collect like terms

y + y = 66.12 + 3.26

2y = 69.36

y= 69.36/2 = $34.69.

Put y = $34.69 in Equation 2. to obtain x

x = 34.69 - 3.26

x = $31.43

50*10 is greater

step-by-step explanation:

if you add the zero from 10 to 50, it will give you a bigger number.
