In a certain clothing store, 6 shirts and 3 ties cost $79.50, and 3 shirts and 2 ties cost $41. Determine the cost of each tie.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Equations:
\n" ); document.write( "6s + 3t = 79.50
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 2t = 41
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify:
\n" ); document.write( "18s + 9t = 3*79.5
\n" ); document.write( "18s + 12t= 6*41
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"t\":
\n" ); document.write( "3t = 7.5
\n" ); document.write( "t = $2.50 (price of one tie)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"s\":
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 2t = 41
\n" ); document.write( "3s + 5 = 41
\n" ); document.write( "3s = 36
\n" ); document.write( "s = $12.00 (price of one shirt)
