Question 1183070
<br>
A cost of $324 with a tax of 8% means the cost of the goods was $324/1.08 = $300.<br>
Let x be the cost of the shirt
Then 2x is the cost of the pants (twice as much as the shirt)
Then 2(2x)-50 = 4x-50 is the cost of the shoes ($50 less than twice the cost of the pants)<br>
{{{x+2x+4x-50=300}}}
{{{7x=350}}}
{{{x=50}}}<br>
ANSWERS:
shirt: x = $50
pants: 2x = $100
shoes: 4x-50 = $150<br>
