The system of equations is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The cost of 1 hat was $7 and one shirt was $15 so the chess team paid $330 last year. Now, they paid $360 and cost of 1 hat is $8 and cost of 1 shirt is $16.
Calculation:
Consider the provided information that cost of 1 hat was $7 and one shirt was $15 so the chess team paid $330 last year. Now, they paid $360 and cost of 1 hat is $8 and cost of 1 shirt is $16.
Let x denote the number of hats and y denote the number of shirts.
Consider the system of equations that represent the situation above.
Use the method of substitution to solve the system above.
From the equation
Now substitute
Now, substitute
Therefore, solution is the coordinate pair,
Thus, the system of equations is
