Question 657394: Mrs.Suarez bought 3 pairs of jeans and 5 shirts for $441. If each pair of jeans cost as much as each shirt,
What was the price of each pair of jeans?
What was the price of each shirt?
I am not sure about the formula I've put together for this question;
x=36.75
And I've gathered if that is the price of a shirt, then the price of a pair of jeans must be $24.50.
But when I plugged in those two values to the original equation, it didnt check out.
What am I doing wrong?
