Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let

x = price of a sweatshirt

y = trice of sweatpants

three sweatshirts and two pairs of sweatpants for $85.50

3x + 2y = 85.50

three more sweatshirts and four more pairs of sweatpants for $123

3x + 4y = 123

by solving the system of equations

3x + 2y = 85.50

3x + 4y = 123

we find

x = $16

y = $18.75
