Answer: Each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Cost per T-shirt, y = Cost per Hat.

As per given,

3x+3y=11.25        (i)

4x+2y=10             (ii)

Multiply 4 to equation (i)

12x+12y=45          (iii)

12x+6y= 30             (iv)

Eliminate (iv) from (iii), we get

6y= 15

⇒ y = 2.5

Put value of y in (i)

3x+3(2.5)=11.25

⇒3x+7.5=11.25

⇒3x= 3.75

⇒x= 1.25

Hence, each shirt costs $1.25, and each hat costs $2.5.
