Answer:
Price of a shirt= $8
Price of a cap= $3
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the original price of a shirt and a cap be $s and $c respectively.
From the first sentence:
s +c= 11 -----(1)
From the second sentence:
2s +3c= 25 -----(2)
From (1):
s= 11 -c -----(3)
Substitute (3) into (2):
2(11 -c) +3c= 25
Expand:
22 -2c +3c= 25
Simplify:
22 +c= 25
Minus 22 on both sides:
c= 25 -22
c= 3
Substitute c= 3 into (3):
s= 11 -3
s= 8
Thus, the prices of a shirt and a cap are $8 and $3 respectively.
