9. Missy Elliot loves to shop at Neiman Marcus. Last Saturday she bought pants and shirts for her new
video. Each shirt cost $125 and each pair of pants cost $225. She came home with 26 items and spent
$4950. How many pants and how many shirts did she buy?

Answer:

17 pants and 9 shirts

let x rep pants

let y rep shirts

x + y =26

225 x + 125 y =4950

x = 26 - y

225(26 - y) + 125y= 4950

5850-225y+125y = 4950

5850-100y=4950

-100y=4950-5850

-100y=-900

y=9

x = 26 - (9)

x = 17
