Answer:

Sweater: 392 [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex]

Hat: 78[tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Scarf: 83[tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Set the sweater = x

The hat = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x

The scarf = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x + 5

x + [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] x + 5 = 555

Combine like terms

1[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x + 5 = 555

Subtract 5 from both sides

1[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x = 550

Divide by 1[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

x = 392 [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex] This is how much wool was used for the sweater.

Divide by 5 to get the hat = 78 [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]

Add 5 to that to get the scarf: 83[tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
