You and your friend went shopping. You bought 2 hats and 3 pairs of gloves for $28.25. Your friend bought 1 hat and 1 pair of gloves for $12.25. How much did one hat cost? How much did one pair of gloves cost? (Answers should reflect the real world scenario by including appropriate units.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

One pair of gloves costs $3.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

Systems of equations

x=hats y=gloves

2x+3y=28.25  

x+y=12.25

2(12.25-y)+3y=28.25

24.5+y=28.25

y=3.75
