Answer:
- 6 shirts at $8
- 3 shirts at $7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x and y represent the numbers of $8 and $7 shirts, respectively. Your system of equations can be written ...
x + y = 9
8x +7y = 69
Subtracting 7 times the first equation from the second gives ...
(8x +7y) -7(x +y) = (69) -7(9)
x = 6
Then y is ...
y = 9 -x = 9 -6 = 3
Amanda bought 6 tees costing $8 and 3 tees costing $7.
