At a sale on winter clothing, Cody bought four pairs of gloves and four hats for $36.00. Tori bought three pairs of gloves and four hats for $31.00. What were the prices for the gloves and hats?​

Sagot :

Answer:

gloves cost $5

hats cost $4

Step-by-step explanation:

four pairs of gloves and four hats for $36.00

4g + 4h = 36

three pairs of gloves and four hats for $31.00

3g + 4h = 31

-------------------------

Subtract the second equation from the first

  4g + 4h = 36

-( 3g + 4h = 31 )

––––––––––––

   g           = 5

gloves cost $5

substitute for g = 5 into either equation

4(5) + 4h = 36

20 + 4h = 36

Subtract 20 from both sides

4h = 16

Divide both sides by 4

h = 4

hats cost $4
