Question 738119
shirts ----------x
slacks------------y

x+y=300...........................(1)

0.25x+1.50y+150=325
multiply by 100

25x+150y+15000=32500

25x+150y=17500....................(2)


x= 	shirts							
y=	slacks							
 								
1	x	+	1	y	=	300	.............1	
Total value								
25	x	+	150	y	=	17,500	.............2	
Eliminate	y							
multiply (1)by		-150						
Multiply (2) by		1						
-150	x		-150	y	=	-45,000		
25	x	+	150	y	=	17,500		
Add the two equations								
-125	x				=	-27,500		
/	-125							
x	=	220						
plug value of			x	in (1)				
1	x	+	1	y	=	300		
220		+		y	=	300		
				y	=	300		-220
				y	=	80		
				y	=	80		
x=	220		shirts					
y=	80		slacks
