How would you go about solving this problem? My step-daughter has it on her homework and she is having me check her work and it has been 20 years since I took algebra and I am at a lose as to where to even begin this problem. Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "Kristin spent $131 on shirts. Fancy shirts cost $28 and plain shirts cost $15" ___ 28f + 15p = 131
"she bought a total of 7" ___ f + p = 7 ___ p = 7 - f
substituting the equivalent value of p ___ 28f + 15(7 - f) = 131
